FYI: There is an article "Setting Up Font Anti-Aliasing in SuSE Linux 7.1 and 7.2" on http://portal.suse.de/ describing how to install TrueType fonts. It's very easy in SuSE 7.2.

Thanks, I've been there and followed instructions. One thing puzzles me: it says:

"An additional option which consiberably improves the appearance of smoothed fonts has proved very useful when using LCD screens. For this purpose you need to modify or create a file in your home directory (in normal user mode). touch .xftconfig"

Er. "touch"? I'm lost here. what be this touch?

It is a command you can type from a command prompt. Get yourself to a command prompt and type the following two lines: cd touch .xftconfig The first command (cd) ensures you are in your home directory. The second creates a file called .xtconfig. (Or, if the file already exists, sets its last-modified timestamp to the current date and time.) Now use your favorite editor to add the recommended content to the file. Perhaps ... kedit .xtconfig Actually, the "touch" is not needed since any editor worth using will create the file for you. Note that since the filename begins with a dot, it is a hidden file and will not show up in directory listings unless you specify that you want to see hidden files. How you specify this depends on the tool you use to view the directory listing. With the "ls" command it is the -a option: ls -a -- ____________________________________________________________________ Robert Paulsen paulsen@texas.net
