Re: [newbie] Upper Case
But not as adventuresome. It's a boring morning. I'm going to copy the directory and try both. Doesn't look like I can break anything. (I've said that before.)

Here is how I learned to do it: Put all your fonts in a directory, then open a shell and cd to that directory. Then: for i in *[A-Z]* Now you are at a > prompt. Type do mv $i `echo $i |tr "A-Z" "a-z"` (note those are ` not ' , located below your tilde key) and finally: done and that should do it. HTHs! :-) PS yeah, the script/program is probably a whole lot easier. :-) -- /\ Dark>Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Upper Case
I have 1500 fonts from my computer lifetime that I would like to add to my oo options, but many of the filenames are upper case. Anyone know how to rename them in lower case all at once?
