I can even tell you what font packages I've installed, but > I guess you already double-checked this. at the office we want to switch our machines from evil M$-Win2k to sweet Debian gnu/linux and kde and one of the problems we have with win2k are the fonts. often we have to (re)install and/or adjust fonts and things really get messy when we edit documents on different machines because no machine has the same font set. so i though having a font server making one font set available for all machines would be nice and troublefree. meanwhile i guess it's easier to install those font packages on every machine. (i think i gotta get rid of my perfectionism someday but until then) can you (or anyone else) point me to a howto about truetype/antialiasing fonts with xfree86? i really want to know how this works. with kind regards, caspar kurt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE++ZUrVBsp47JyuaMRAt8FAJwKv2VLQXgkziiW5pMJAZ+EZCpepgCeJC8g zuIu1ulQ1s8qwINRgj+gYfg= =GoZG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
