Excellent. I recommend this to anyone who hasn't got true-type fonts. What a difference!

Where (in what directory) do you recommend installing these on a SuSE system?

I installed them in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/ Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer 90443 Nuernberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Just read all of the README file... you also need to adjust Netscape (seems you didn't). The README file is well-written and extremely helpful.

I tried these fonts. The docs suggest setting Nutscrape at a font size of 15. On my machine, that's HUGE. Even changing to 9, Google, for example, appears with very large fonts. For now, I've removed the FontPath from XF86Config. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. On Wed, 29 Mar 2000, David Porter wrote:

They are not true-type fonts, you need to put the directory in your font path. I put the line

FontPath "/usr/local/lib/fonts/Mozilla/:unscaled"

below the other FontPath lines in /etc/XF86Config, then restarted X.

I set them to 12.

What, you don't like BIG fonts? ;-) That the regular fonts are so *tiny* was the only problem I had with them. Oh well, YMMV. david. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
