And thanks to you Tony Shadwick for sticking up for me. I appreciate it. Nice to see some people remember that you have to ask questions to learn and knowledge is not passed down genetically to the youth. > yes, wrong list. no LOL. Well I guess you woke up on the wrong side of the bed. > the base system is not freebsd. Please use google and educate yourself. > This has been dealt with a lot of times already. The base system is Darwin. Darwin is derived from FreeBSD. Here is a clipping from apples own site. If they are misleading people take up your gripe with them. The upgraded kernel, based on FreeBSD 5.x, provides optimized resource locking for better scalability across multiple processors, support for 64-bit memory pointers through the System library and standards-based access control lists. The system enhances network services via a next-generation launch daemon and centralized application logging. Tiger also features command-line access to Spotlight for searching application metadata and enables many common UNIX utilities to http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/unix.html Do a search for FreeBSD on Apple's site and you will see pages and pages of FreeBSD references in OS X. >> One, I thought OSX had a OS9 compatibility layer of some sort. Is this >> wrong? Thank you for stating the obvious. Yes, there is Classic. In addition, yes it sucks. If you take the time and re-read, the subject it says "Unix fonts on OS X" the classic thing was more of a grip (I apologize to everyone. The mailing list is not a place for grips). I wanted to know if anyone had tried or knew if FreeBSD Fonts would work in OS X, as they are a kin to each other. But hey thanks for not helping at all. Hope you have a good weekend. Sorry to everyone I do not usually respond to people who are more of a nuisance then helpful but he got under my skin and I do not know why.
