Hi Jacques,
the problem is not installing TTF in my system (Linux), but that ROOT can handle them...
In principle if in .rootrc it is set

..................
Root.UseTTFonts:        true
Unix.*.Root.TTFontPath:         $(HOME)/ttf/fonts

ROOT should know where the new true type fonts are... Anyway I have no idea how to pick those fonts in ROOT I see always the 13 default fonts if I look in SetTextAttribute of wathever text object....

Is there any root env variable to see the list of the available fonts?

Cheers

A
