[SOLVED] Font problem

I use Openbox. Installed a ttf font named Pragmata Medium, that is, copied and pasted the font in /usr/share/fonts. It has these permissions.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 89013 Sep 22 21:37 Pragmata Medium.ttf

It also shows in Openbox configuration manager's Appearance tab, but won't show up anywhere. How do I get this font to show? Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Font problem

Did you regenerate the font cache?

Yes I did

$ fc-cache -vf

Re: [SOLVED] Font problem

The problem is probably the whitespace in the filename. Rename the file to something without a space, then repeat the font installation routine of mkfontscale, mkfontdir, xset fp rehash, and fc-cache -f.
