Re: Questions about Fonts (in particular: can I use M$ Windows True Type Fonts) with Linux Kubuntu?
Hi Paul All, Thanks for the advice on installing M$ Windows true type fonts. I did as you explained and now I have my TT fonts installed. Thanks again. 2008/7/28 Paul Schulz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Peter, To make a new TrueType font available in Ubuntu, just copy the ttf file into a '.fonts' directory in your home directory. It them becomes available to you in Inkscape, OpenOffice and (I assume) other Gnome applications.

Need to edit the Application Menu Launcher's menus -- how do I do it.
Hi All, I am now using Kubuntu and I'm generally very happy with it. Previously I used Gnome. With gnome I use the Ala Carte Menu Editor... But what is the Application Menu Launcher's menu editor. The reason that I need to know is that there are a lot of menu item under Lost and Found menu and I want to move them to a more logical menu. Also, I recently installed Windows Applications - WINE Emulator (I think thats what it's called) -- but I don't see a menu item anywhere for it. How do I install a Application Menu Launcher menu for it? e.g I would like to make a menu folder for WINE.

DVD - CD BURNING
Hi everybody, HARDY I have 100% failure on burning DVDs and CDs. The programs installed are Audio CD Exctractor, Brasero Rhythmbox. However, if I install Wine and use Imgburn http://www.imgburn.com/ then I get 100% success - which I was used to in Windows. But I really would prefer not to use Wine - does anybody know of other Linux (Ubuntu) programs that are good or what I might be able to do to get successful burns in Ubuntu, please?

Many thanks, David I never could get Brasero to give a good burn. Having switched to K3B I get a near perfect burn ratio. Maybe it'll work for you as well James Thanks James - I'll try it tonight.

Try k3b but you need to install kde libraries as well if that's ok with you, give it a go once. $ aptitude install k3b; Also http://k3b.plainblack.com/screenshots cheers -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
Re: DVD - CD BURNING
Just drop the burn speed down some in Brasero Personally I wouldnt install Qt lib based apps onto Gnome - guess Im a purist :) Its probably due to poor quality media - I use verbatim now and can burn 16x no problems using Brasero cheers -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

I use a variety of media: TYG02, Verbatim, TDK ... all work in Windows. This is on three machines. The drives are: BenQ, LG and MSI. I have just tried k3b but no luck. As I never have a problem in Windows or Wine using mainly Imgburn but others also, I think the chances of it being media or drives is very slim as in Linux I get 100% failure.
