Strange, on my hamm box installing xfstt was a pretty eventful job. First, there is no FAQ.gz. Maybe it is in the slink but I can't install that to a hamm box, can I? Then there is a problem with starting xfstt. It looks like there is an error in the start script because if I type '/etc/init.d/xfstt start' I get a line that looks like xfstt telling me how it wants to get invoked. A bit later xdm tries to start but the screen doesn't come up. It's flashing and I have to login from another computer, take down xdm, start xfstt by hand and start xdm again. Then and only then everything works fine and I can view web pages with Netscape without getting eye cancer. :) I haven't even mentioned the fact that the name of the xfstt start script was in fact 'xfstt-dpkg-new' and that I had to browse the net for the line I had to add to the FontPath in XF86Config. unix:/7101 didn't work, whyever. Now I wonder what's broken on this system and do I have to expect something like that on slink, too? > In particular there are some details regarding choosing font size for > netscape. What I did, in a nutshell, was Regarding font sizes in Netscape: Is it ok that I can't choose the font size for a TTF? I think in Windows this is possible and at the moment I'm using the content of a \WINNT\Fonts directory. Are there free fonts which look as good or even better?
