Hi, fonts are one of the first things people changing from M$ to linux complain about. And one of the reasons is Microsoft has restrictions are their fonts so SuSE can't put them on their CD's. There is a solution, the fonts are available, What i did was go into into YaST2 --> "Install and Remove Software" and searched on "fonts". I installed all the font rpms I could find, and in the process I installed a rpm which went out and found the old Microsoft fonts and installed them. Unfortunately, I can't find the name of that rpm, but it is there.

It's nothing to do with MS fonts, it's the fact that some applications don't use the fonts that have been set up on the desktop, whether they're MS or not.

Will the afore-mentioned applications then use these fonts if they're set via the desktop? I doubt it! However, from this link that you sent...

..I have gleaned the following information which may be useful. "To change the fonts used in GnuCash, use the gnome1 control center, which is on the SUSE disks - you're looking for gnomecc." "I ran SuSEconfig -module fonts and rebooted." -- Chris Simon osian@zetnet.co.uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/csimon/
Hi, Yep i initially complained as well! But i never had problems with Redhat 9 nor any major problems with Fedora Core 1. i thought it maybe had something with XFT2 and antialiasing or something along those lines ? Will try to install fonts and se if it makes any difference ! Regards Lasse Quoting GarUlbricht7@netscape.net:
