I think that on SuSE you want *both* the 75dpi and 100dpi fontsets installed. The internal code assumes that either you have the full set of unscaled fonts or have scalable fonts (this is arguably a bug, but I'm not sure I dare touch that particular piece of code at this point), and SuSE gives you only one of the unscaled ones bye default. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
