Re: Prob installing latex-ttf...(sorry, question was discussed already)
Thanks to everyone who replied. In the end the only way to install fontfig under SuSE/XD2 was with rpm --nodeps --force.

Re: Prob installing latex-ttf...(sorry, question was discussed already)
Hello, I realize that this is alrady becoming an irritation for some on the list but it is not at all clear how to get the math fonts to work. Reading through the archive you get the same answers over and over again, but they don't work (at least for me). 1. install the fonts : needs fontconfig 2. install fontconfig : red carpet won't do it. 3. tried everything possible to install from source fails for both qt and xforms The fact that so many people have difficulties with this shouldn't irritate others on the list. And perhaps someone might then even suggest a real solution to the problem. best, j. --- Heiko Schröder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sorry, > > I just found, although searching for information > without any results, that the > same question was just discussed by Jeremy Reed on > 16 th of June. > > Although installing the package with rpm -iv > --nodeps is a solution which > causes some headache, because it *is* definetely not > a clean way. > > Uff.

maths fonts
Dear all, I realize that there has already been a lot of trafic regarding how to get the Lyx to display the mathsymbols correctly rather than as latex commands (eg display greek alpha rather than red text alpha etc). I have read through the messages in the archives, tried some things out but to no avail. This is undoubtedly partly to be blamed on my inexperience with linux. In any case if anyone would be so kind to have the patience to tell me how to do it I would appreciate it greately. I'm running suse 8.2/xd2 and I tried installing the rpm with the fonts. That doesn't work because rpm says that fontconfig is not found. trying to install fontconfig doesn't work because it says that some of the files are already installed in xfree86. So I tried installing from source. ./configure works fine but then make fails due to many different messages. what can i do? h. __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
