This is a WordPerfect problem - its font support doesn't use the normal X library calls, so it doesn't support all the fonts installed in the system. It doesn't support TrueType fonts at all. You have basically two options: - Use a different word processor, such as Star Office 5.1 (http://www.stardivision.com/) It has more features (including better font support), but is somewhat slower, especially on low-memory machines. - Convert the fonts you want to use to Type1 fonts and install them in the WordPerfect font directories. Have a look at http://www.channel1.com/users/rodsmith/wpfonts.html for more information on this. LLaP bero -- Tired of waiting for Windows 2000? STOP WAITING! http://www.ms-windows-2000.com/
