Hi,
It seemed that I was missing the fonts-package. I downloaded it and now I
have that fonts.dir.pseudoadobe. There were some fonts too so I thought I'd
try it since my program was trying to use those same fonts.
I compiled the NanoX and my program. then I copied the fonts-directory to
same directory where my binary was so I had directory structure like this:
prg.binary
fonts/truetype
Still the program keeps complaining that it doesn't found fonts. For example
Times New Roman,12, Courier New, 16, Courier New 11, Arial 10 even though
they are in that fonts.dir file. I tried to copy fonts to same directory as
the binary but still nothing.
It would be nice to someway to see what file and where it's trying to find
so I could see what's wrong. Now I just have to guess.
I tried with freetype1 and freetype2 and the result was same with both. No
fonts were found.

Hi Teemu,
fonts.dir should be in the directory path which you have mentioned in
the config file of Nano-X. as for example:
####################################################################
# TrueType font support thru FreeType 1.x
####################################################################
HAVE_FREETYPE_SUPPORT = Y
INCFTLIB = /usr/include/freetype1
LIBFTLIB = /usr/lib/libttf.a
FREETYPE_FONT_DIR = "fonts/truetype"
fonts.dir file contains name of font file, encodings and font attributes.
You need to edit that file for your font. This file should be in the
directory where your TTF font file is. To have a sample copy how to
write this file, go to the Nano-X's src/fonts/truetype directory.
there you will find fonts.dir.pseudoadobe file.
Thanks and regards,
Kirankumar
