When I run Google Earth, I get a warning message that says:

If you don't have it, you can find a free download and installations at the following link. We will continue with whatever font we could find, but some text may look incorrect.
Yast shows that "bitstream-vera Bitstream Vera(tm) Truetype fonts Ver. 1.10-199 is installed.
I am reluctant to go to the gnome site and install a second version for fear of incompatibilities later.
Also, I d/l'd the listed package, and the fonts in the package match up namewise with the fonts listed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/Vera*.
SuSE 10.2/32
Has anyone else seen and fixed this?
TIA
It is a directory where Bitstream Vera is installed. I'm not sure about 10.2. So far I recall I just checked not to ask anymore. The other option is to remove Bitstream Vera from file 'secondaryfontfamily' so that Google stops complaining: ~/.googleearth/Registry/google/googleearthplus/User/render/secondaryfontfamily Some post mentioned to run mkfontdir and mkfontscale in usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera after Vera fonts are copied to this directory, but that should be done by SuSEconfig. I have latest version of Google Earth. Font change in Tools -> Options 3D Fonts changes only primary fonts, so it seems that Bitstream Vera is secondary font to use if there is no primary. For instance default primary is Arial, and it is not installed here, but program works fine due to automatic substition provided by Qt. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
