Hi,
I did some more debugging and found out something strange.
I printed the fontname - variable from engine/font_freetype.c file and for
example for arial I get fonts/truetype/Arial.tff. I copied my arial.tff to
Arial.tff, but it still complains that it cannot find it.
And for some reason the Courier New font is called Courier New.tff and not
cour.tff or something like that what it supposed to be called regarding the
fonts.dir file.
Maybe I'm still missing something here?

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
