Pls. cc. me on > any responses, as I am not on the list -thanks. What does the XF86Config-4 file look like? Specifically the section dealing with fontpaths... do you have this line in there; FontPath "tcp/127.0.0.1:7102" I can't remember why I had to do this anymore, I just did. This was on a Corel newsgroup quite some time ago. Ok, googling turned up this: http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-2000-04/lw-04-penguin_2.html Next, how did you install it? With the script or manually through apt-get after updating sources.list? The latter, as you might imagine, seems to work better. > > Before it is mentioned, yes, I'd rather not be using a discontinued > commercial application at all, but I am setting this machine up for my > mother, who has a considerable amount of ongoing work that must be done in > Wordperfect.
