I have been sent a very nice conky.conf file but unfortunately it has some fonts that I don't have.
Can anyone tell me how to get these two.

Droid Sans Mono / HeldustryFTVBasic Demi

THanks,

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droid_(font)]Droid font[/url] (I intentionally broke the url so that I wouldn't have to figure out how to get the parends to work correctly in a link...)

The other one doesn't seem to be available under a free license.

As always, google is your friend...

Then file a bug against the ebuild at bugs.gentoo.org

In the meantime, you can just drop the ttf font files into your ~/.fonts directory (create it if needed). Log out and back in (restart X if you use a graphical login manager) and the font should then be available for your user.
