howto install fonts without restart?

Hi All,

I have installed the belastingdienst-ib2010 1.0-1 package from aur, but it refuses to run
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47278
$ ib2010ux
Fout!: Het programma kan het eigen lettertype niet installeren en ook geen alternatief lettertype kiezen.
Start het programma (opnieuw) met -L '' als argument om een (ander) lettertype te kiezen.

translation: Error! the program canot install it's own fonts, and can also not choose an alternative
Restart the program with -L to choose another font.

Has anybody seen this?

Best regards,
Cedric

This can be solved by installing extra fonts, and the rebooting the machine. I don't know if it needs the 75 or the 100 dpi font.
font-adobe-100dpi 1.0.3 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50338
font-adobe-75dpi 1.0.3 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=50339

Does anybody know howto do this without a reboot?

Best regards,
Cedric

Are you sure it needs those fonts? Does it work if you just reboot but not install them?
