Re: [newbie] Windows Font Installer takes a very long time to install fonts in LM8
I also purchased a LM8 Powerpack. The problem is still there. First you need to upgrage Drakfont from cooker and then you can install the fonts without any problem.

There is a bug in the version that is on the CD. You need to upgrade DrakFont (sp?) from cooker to the latest version and then run it again.

I always used to just run: ttmkfdir > fonts.dir (from the tt font directory), Then edit /etc/X11/fs/config to add the new font path. Admittedly, I haven't done this from MDK 8.0. Is ttmkfdir different now? Thnx! Ric

The version of drakfont included with 8.0 takes a very long time to do the install, The version from cooker is faster. kfontinst is faster than drakfont, and has the ability to add/preview and remove fonts The fastest way is to do a ttmkfdir & mkfontdir from the commandline and then edit /etc/X11/fs/config -- Alex Kernel Panic is General Failure's second in command

Naw, it's broke. I believe I read where it was broken in the earlier downloadable versions. I did a recent network install, and it's working now. But I have other problems -s On Monday 28 May 2001 07:45 pm, you wrote: > Hi all, > > I was trying to install the Windows fonts in Mandrake Control Center.
