hi. i had the same problem with photopaint / fonttastic. the fonttastic RPM is in your photopaint files. there are 2 of them. a 2.0 and a 2.1 i think. for some reason yours, like mine, did not install. install the newer of the RPMs. you may have to use the overwrite files option. i did. after that you should be ok. i notice you say it's not in with your photopaint files. that is odd. where did you get photopaint? mine is the set of install files downloaded from corels web site.

I recall someone posting the solution to this within the past month. I seem to recall someone posting a difficulty with WP8 fairly recently, too--I didn't pay much attention since I've installed it on 7.0 and 7.1 and then never used it." That was me, and I followed their links (which were good). The LM help page is the one that says to install the 'fonttastic...rpm' from the install CD, and since it is a Mandrake page one assumes the Mandrake CD, but fonttastic isn't on any of my 8 Mandrake CDs (I have LM 7.2, 6.5 CDs and LM utilities CD set too). It's not on either of the CDs that have WP8, nor the CD with Corel PhotoPaint. Mandrake seems to be hoplessly lost.
