Does this thing exist? Is it the the ultimate solution for the font problems in netscape? I think it's called 'cp' . Any ttf fonts should work with both, shouldn't they? > Also, how do I install new fonts into FreeBSD? Copy them into a folder, add that to your fontpath, and prepare it using ttmkfdir. or is it mkttfdir? If they're not prepared, the X Server says to run mkfontdir, but I don't know if that understands TrueType or not. (This worked for X 4.0.1 - it seems to be broken in 4.0.3, at least for me.) Anyone else getting problems with it? I hava about 4 gfonts now, last month > 200. And they all about an inch high, and come in two sizes: "Too small to read" and "So huge the blind guy in the next valley can read my mail over my shoulder". -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns :: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
