RE: [SLE] Getting nice fonts

There's absolutely no problem at all using xfstt as your true type font server, and it's nicely packaged as an rpm for 6.4. You can start it as an option in rc.config, the only caveat is that a) follow the naming convention for the directory of your truetype fonts b) follow the instructions to stop the font server loading up too quickly - this is explained on the sdb, just search for xfstt. The fix merely involves deleting part of line in the startup script. c) check your font path in XF86Config, again follow the documentation. And then you can enjoy all your truetype fonts, you can even show off by having them form part of your welcome string in kdm! But best of all you can use them in wretched applications like Nutscrape to slightly improve its looks, while the gimp does fantastic things with your new fonts. The only thing I'd like to do is integrate latex to use my ttfonts collection... k.

[SLE] OT- Using QuarkXPress Files?
by TFarrell＠fallschurch.esys.com 31 Oct '00

Does anyone know of a Linux application that can import QuarkXPress documents? I have not been able to find anything but the mention of a script used by Linux Journal here: http://noframes.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue20/0086.html Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[SLE] ReiserFS any limitations/problems ?
by seana＠romaxtech.com 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

Sean Akers@ROMAX 31/10/2000 14:57 I'm about to set up a new Linux server at work using SuSE 7.0. I was thinking of using Reiser FS rather than ext2. However, I realize that this is a fairly new file system and was wondering whether it is OK for production use. Are there any limitations or problems with using this file system ? It would certainly be nice not to have to worry about power failures and potential loss of data.

[SLE] Permissions..
by bcomber＠freezer-burn.org 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

Hi Everyone, I have installed KDE2 on my SuSE 6.4 system, and really don't have any complaints except for one. While logged on as a regular user, I can't use my cd-rom drive. If I try to mount it, it says I don't have permission. KSCD just sits there without ever recognizing the audio CD in the drive. I'm just at a loss as to where to look. It works fine if I log in as root, or start kde1, gnome, icewm, etc. But NOT under KDE2. Ideas?

[SLE] Getting nice fonts
by fountai＠hursley.ibm.com 31 Oct '00

Fonts haven't, in the past, troubled me much. I could read what was printed, so why bother with improvements? Still, now I've got KDE-2.0 up and running, the fonts do tend to let it all down a bit. I guess the solution is to use TrueType fonts. What is the normal way of doing this on SuSE Linux? I have SuSE-6.4, XFree-3.3.6 (can't move to 4.0.x yet) and I use Wordperfect Office quite a bit. I mention this last point because I seem to remember seeing problems with some TTF server and the WPO font thing when run together. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Re: [SLE] Shell script user interface utilities

Sean Akers@ROMAX 31/10/2000 15:09 Thanks guys. Dialog looks as though it will do the job I need it for. It is not as flexible as I remember the HP-UX software being but it is good enough. I might have a look at the source for this one and see if I can make any improvements or extensions (a multi field input dialog and a formatted text input dialog being the first things I think it needs). Alex I can't remember if SPECS was the package I used under HP-UX. It is such a long time ago (we're talking 1993 here) but it sounds fairly similar. I'll have to get in touch with some of my old work colleagues and see if they can remember what it was called. Unfortunately I've been working on M$ software development :-( for about 4 years now and my Unix is getting very rusty indeed. I've just begun to invest some of my spare time in trying to rekindle my Unix knowledge which has been forgotten. It's horrifying how easy it is to forget stuff that was second nature once upon a time. By the way, can anyone recommend any good books (possibly with a SuSE bias) which cover the subjects of shell scripting, awk, perl, advanced system admin (e.g. networking, sendmail/qmail/postfix, inn, security etc.) This list is really good. I hardly ever use the Usenet Linux groups any more. You get much better answers here. Not only do we have a great distribution but a great set of users too.

Re: [SLE] Iso image
by damon.w.register＠lmco.com 31 Oct '00

Hello Lenz: I was looking on the SuSE site for an iso image of the new 7.0 but didn't find it. Next I searched the mailing list archive to see if this had already been discussed and I found your message of October 5 where you said that the upload was expected within 24 hours. I still don't find any iso image. Am I missing it or is it not there?
