Julius, It sounds like 2 separate issues.
1) Available fonts 2) Blurry graphics (including blurry fonts). It is possible that the ThinkNic CD is configured for TrueType fonts, and that could be what you are seeing. Simply copying the font files over to the LTSP directory won't pick that up. It's a configuration thing for X, whether to use TrueType fonts or not. If I could get my hands on the ThinkNic CD iso image, I could poke around and see what's up. I'm still thinking that we aren't utilizing the full potential of the built-in graphics. Probably a frequency of modeline that needs to be tweaked. Jim.
