As I run with Linux Mint, I would be curious to know, how FB loads and configures (non core windows fonts) True Type fonts? If 'ttfs' cannot be used how else can FB use fonts?

hi johnno56 :) good morning!

well if you are talking about the fonts of TrueType in a graphical screen FB needs to use an external library such as FBTrueType lib. https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25083 I used then in my games and it's a very good library to use...
