yes...I could have sworn I changed most of the docs to say 7101 instead of 7100...where did you get 7100 from? did I miss something? btw you said [in previous message..which I just now read 5 mins ago] that you did xfstt --sync --dir /usr/share/font/truetype but...if you use the debina verwsion of xfstt, which is the only version which defaults to port 7100, is also the only version to default to /usr/share/fonts/truetype[1] -Steve [1] I talked to Herbert Duerr about this (author) he agrees that /usr/ttfonts [the outside-debian default] is not a very good place for fonts but doesn't want to change it because of so many people already using it - I imagine he would say the same about moving it to port 7101... -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
