RE: [Cooker] Windows Fonts
It gets some of the way through copying fonts and then stalls so doesn't seem to be a problem with the permissions. Were there any changes to drakfont since RC1, or RC2. I've the same settings in /etc/fstab as I had when drakfont used to work properly. -Original Message- From: Guillaume Rousse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 September 2002 15:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Cooker] Windows Fonts Le Vendredi 20 Septembre 2002 16:29, Robert J.

However I installed RC3 on my machine at work today and I was able to install windows fonts sitting on a vfat partition. So the problem on my home machine does seem to be related to the fact that the fonts are in an NTFS partition. Bob Rossana Le Vendredi 20 Septembre 2002 16:29, Robert J.
