Screensavers ... are these a library of images or are they X or GL dynamic computational heavy screensavers. Which graphics cards are installed and what driver is active. Is acceleration using the card enabled or is the load on your CPU. Texture maps? Double check driver install and setup for GFX cards. Is OpenGL installed? Correctly? Chrome/Chromium and FIrefox allow hardware acceleration on graphics cards.

Keep things simple. An old boss could not cope with a text file that did not end in .txt My job was to support the products on an exhaustive list of unix and linux systems (sigh). ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure

It may be as simple as navigating to C:\Windows\Fonts, and then copying the font files to a USB disk and then installing them locally on another machine. Adobe fonts are often constrained so look for and use ones that are not. TeX fonts are another source of confusion and opportunity. Apple fonts seem to be favorites of managers. Font formats add additional confusion, both display and print, watch for pix map fonts that do not scale for your display. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
