Tkfont.families does not list all installed fonts

[Atul]

Hi,

I have installed a truetype font (.ttf) on a linux machne (SUSE linux
10, KDE) by copying it to my .fonts folder. I can use the font in all
applications like open-office and firefox browser.

However, I cannot use the font in a python app that I am writing. The
list returned by Tkfont.families does not contain this particular font.

Any suggestions ?

Regards,
