[SuSE Linux] installing xfstt in SuSE
by jljr＠early.com 20 Dec '98

20 Dec '98

Has anyone been successful compiling and installing the Xfstt true type font server in SuSE? I have read there is a debian rpm that contains the executable but haven't tried using that yet. If anyone has any experience installing better fonts in SuSe. please share your experience with me. I guess my eyes are not too good, and having better fonts ( especially in Netscape) would really be a blessing for me. thanks in advance, joe - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

[SuSE Linux] X and TrueType fonts
by tux＠datapro.co.za 20 Dec '98

20 Dec '98

After installing wp8 last night I decided to install a TrueType font server and installed xfstt. I can tell it's working by loading some web pages into Netscape that use Verdana and other TrueType fonts and the fonts work correctly. I expected that I would be able to choose the TrueType fonts in the font chooser in wp8 but this is not so. Is it possible to use the TrueType fonts in documents? If so will they print correctly or does the font server only work for the display?

[SuSE Linux] WP8 Install Script
by adcarlso＠visinet.ca 20 Dec '98

20 Dec '98

I solved my WP8 install problem. I seems that there are 2 or 3 text files created in the dir that you unzip/untar to. These list the original files in lower case, where my orginals were actually upper case. So I changed the names to lower case, exactly as listed in the aforementioned files. The script Runme then worked fine. Problem solving at its best. ---------------------------------- Arlen Carlson adcarlso(a)visinet.ca "My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four.

Has anyone had any problems actually running the WP8 install script. I have gunzipped, untarred and then run the Runme. I get the message Error: Nothing new to install, is I answer y. And something about reading the readme if I answer n. (Probably just to tell you to gunzip and untar). ---------------------------------- Arlen Carlson adcarlso(a)visinet.ca "I'd love to go out with you, but there are important world issues that need worrying about."

[SuSE Linux] AGP Support
by yatsen.ng＠multiweb.nl 19 Dec '98

19 Dec '98

Hello to you all, I'll start out by saying that I'm a complete, total newbie. I decided to give Linux a try because I happen to run windows98 and it crashes and/or freezes regularly, which can be quite annoying. Anyway, I installed the necessary packages yesterday and invoked SaX to configure the X Window System. Everything went fine untill I got to the 'Desktop' menu. There were no resolutions to choose from whatsoever - the list was completely empty. I have an Iiyama Vision Master Pro400 (17") and a Matrox Millenium card. I did notice that in the manual they mention PCI and ISA cards but not AGP. My card happens to be an AGP. Does SaX offer AGP or should I use xf86config? Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Please remember that I'm new at this (an understatement!), so don't get too complicated!

What is the proper procedure for installing the wvdial rpm from SuSE? I downloaded it, installed with YaST, and get a "can't load library 'libstdc++.so.2.9'" when conf invoked.
