Oh, it's easy. Just grab ftp://gray.westgate.gr/pub/greek/GRkbd-1.3.2.tar.gz and install it somewhere under /usr/local/bin/grkbd first. Then in your ~/.xinitrc add the following: grkbd -nowin & > And Giorgo, please send me that lucida typewr. if you don't mind.. The font can be found in a local copy I have at ftp://gray.westgate.gr/pub/greek/lucida-gr.tar.gz Mind you, I don't remember where I found the 12 pt version, so if 12 points are not exactly what you would be happy with, I'm afraid I can't help :-/ Unzip this archive under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts and add the path to your FontPath statements in XF86Config. To have xterms fire up with lucida-typewriter-greek as their font, you need to merge the following resources with your ~/.Xresources file: XTerm*font: -greek-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-7 -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> For my public pgp2 key: finger -l keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
