greetings,
i hope you can provide me with a solution for the
problem of presenting MOE books on an XO, this in
support of Carol Ruth Silver's pilot program to support
home schooling in rural Afghanistan.
http://www.moe.gov.af/books.htm#
the Afghanistan Ministry of Education web site has
various books, each of which is a directory with a
front and back cover, table of contents, first section,
second section, and a subdirectory called fonts in
which there are several .ttf font files.
i've copied the entire set for a book (Pashto Books :
Grade 1 : Math) to a Math subdirectory under the
/home/olpc/ directory (XO 1, OS build 8.2.1),
then as root i created a /usr/share/fonts/truetype
directory and copied the fonts there,
then i've run the fc-cache /usr/share/fonts/truetype
command,
then run the fc-list | sort command and saw the new
fonts in the list.
i edited the /home/olpc/.library/index.html files to
add a link to one of the math sections,
then i used the browser and clicked the link to the
math section and got the file loaded but with empty
rectangles rather than the fonts.
how can i get the .pdf file to display with the fonts?
is there a way to assemble the four .pdf files so that
they are a single .pdf (can it be as simple as using
the cat command)?
my thanks,
jim stockford for carol ruth silver
