Hi, are you referring to this: http://www.paulandlesley.org/linux/xfree4_tt.html ? There's a lot of stuff there about adding your own fonts and stuff but all I did was install msttcorefonts and xfs. Then add a couple lines to /etc/X11/fs/config so that the 'catalogue' section looks something like: ... catalogue = /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/, /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/, /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType ... then restart xfs. The new fonts should appear as available in any font choice dialogue such as to configure mozilla or konqueror. > Another trivial question how to do I universal copy paste enabled in KDE > that is copying pasting between different applications. > > Like I try to copy the urls from konquerer to mozilla or i copy a message > that i recieved in yahoo messenger to kword and stuff. I just leftclick highlight / middleclick paste. It doesn't work perfectly all the time in every application though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
