Hello Mike, and others interested, A while ago you mentioned that the Culmus hebrew Type1 font package could be installed by default in the next version of SuSE Linux. This week I had to download the Culmus fonts again, via http://culmus.sourceforge.net/. I did it by giving the command rpm -i http:// [etc] .rpm, and then I got a warning that some .rpmsave and .rpmnew files were installed too. It turned out, when I looked for hidden files, that a number of the following items were sneakily installed as hidden files. Maybe it has something to do with my computer (suse 9.1), but this is what I found (the .rpm puts nothing in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts but I copied some fonts there myself): /usr/local/share/fonts/.fonts-config-timestamp /opt/kde3/share/fonts/.fonts-config-timestamp /usr/share/fonts/he/Type1/.fonts-config-timestamp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/.fonts-config-timestamp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/.fonts-config-timestamp /usr/share/fonts/.fonts-config-timestamp /usr/share/fonts/he/.fonts-config-timestamp I was surprised because I didn't know these fonts were restricted, they're all GNU and stuf, I thought. They nowhere say you have to pay. The result was that they worked for a while, and after one or two sessions the fonts didn't show anymore. If the Culmus fonts were to be a default in the next Suse Linux, these sneaky things had better be left out. And I wonder what an .rpmnew or .rpmsave file would be doing. It prevented me from letting YaST get rid of the Culmus package! YaST thinks there is no Culmus, but there still is. I think my fonts now work, because I threw it all out except the fonts themselves, manually, but I'll see what happens. Has anyone else seen funny things happen with Culmus? So far, I recommend to be careful with it. Or is it just me who is infected with funny software? Regards, Herman
