Hi! English is not my first language, please, excuse me. I had a trouble with TTF: I can't see them with mate font visor, or font forge or even libreoffice. (in mate visor "unable to read the font face file ..."; in fontforge ".._ttf is not a known format (or uses features of that format fontforge does not support, or is so badly corrupted as to be unreadable)") Fonts are in /home/.fonts/ and I can see them in another PC with Manjaro, and in a tablet with android...then, ttf fonts are fine, cos are  the same (copy and paste).  I had this fonts trouble in chimaera, and troubles with mate. All mate's issues gone resolved with an update to Devuan testing (and troubles with Network Manager and WiFi too was resolved), but TTF issues persist. I don't know what can I do, or what I can install or modify to resolve it. And I don't know what can I post to define better my problem. I hope someone understand what I am saying ... and someone had some idea. Thanks

(English is not my mother language, the reason for my lack of activity in forum, sorry) I use devuan from the start (systemd controversy). In an old pc and in a notebook I use beowolf. Now I have a new PC with I5-10400. Today, I must install Devuan in it. What  I must install? I had read that some kernels had problems with this "new" processor. Suddenly I have ssd, wireles mouse and keyboard, webcam, hdmi tv (I have not an hdmi monitor, and now vga is inhabilited for intel)... will be Beowolf fine, or I must to consider Chimaera or Ceres? Thank you ver much.

Hy Everyone. English is not my language, please excuse any mistake.
Previously I had problems with a sound card, this is another card, another pc, another topic.

I am in Ascii/Beowulf .... from a week to now sound comes and go randomly. I don't use pulseaudio (previously I used it, but with identical results)

I had discovered that when sound is gone, if I run speaker-test after a couple of minutes sound return. I have sound for some time and after this again its gone.

Anyone have some idea? Thanks in advance.

Hy! My english is not good, I'm from Argentina, but I'll try to do my best. Some day, not far away, devuan will be common in spanish people!. For me Devuan is the future, and systemd will fall, as a big gigant...a big fall.

Now, my big problem:  my soundcard is not recognized. i'm urged cos my 4 childs needs theirs games. Their father (me) always said that devuan is the best distro...and now...I what resolve this before they knows the problem, haha!.

I am in Ascii. From specifications, I know that my card is
    VT8237R Plus integrated VIA AC'97 audio controller
    Realtek ALC655 AC'97 audio codec
    AC'97 2.3 compliant

but ...

aplay -l
aplay: device_list:272: no soundcards found...

I read all post about this here, but nothing helps. Someone here could resolve this issue updating kernel. I did the same, now is linux-imga 4.19 (from ceres)--- but without results.

Please, some sugestions will be very apreciated, cos I'm staked. All other things, policykit, automount and go on are going perfect! only sound for my childs  (is their computer) rest. Thank you very much People Of Devuan!
