I thought it was a configuration problem but when I set up an Alpha box I was able to bring the network down again (Tru64 reported excessive network activity) and this time they fixed the problem well. Anyway, one of the things that is really important is getting good quality fonts, that's the reason I ported type1inst and several ps type1 fonts. I bought a pretty good and cheap CD with lot's of postscript fonts. Hmm...I just checked the FreeBSD Mall and I don't find Applixware as a standalone product anymore ... the BSD Desktop Edition looks like a good buy though. Pedro.
