BeOS - Installing TrueType Barcode Fonts

The BeOS includes a TrueType font rendering component which displays TrueType fonts in almost any size. The standard set of TrueType fonts included with the BeOS is stored in /boot/beos/etc/fonts/ttfonts. These are the default system fonts and shouldn't be changed.

Additional True Type fonts can either be purchased or downloaded in Windows format (not Macintosh) and added to the BeOS.

• Place the fonts in the /boot/home/config/fonts/ttfonts folder.
• To tell the BeOS to look at the new fonts, click the Rescan button in the Fonts window—or just reboot. The fonts are automatically rescanned when BeOS starts up.

To add PostScript fonts, make a new psfonts folder in /boot/home/config/fonts, and put the fonts there. Rescan or reboot, as before.
