easy use/install Defoma (Debian font manager) it does all the hard work for you it even has a GUI
************************************************** General info for newbies I recently had to unpack 400 fonts with the "filename.zip" format and to unpack the whole lot I did ls *.zip|xargs -l1 unzip (l1 is a lower case L and number 1) the above script basically lists all the files that are zip files in the directory you are in, (put all your zip font files in one directory)then pipes it to xargs and xargs feeds the list to unzip one file at a time. also nice fonts website http://www.sauronsoftware.it/webresources/fonts/default.asp fast and easy no mucking around Regards Richard -- *********************************** We are Pentium of Borg.

Im running Debian 3.0 with XF86 4.something, Gnome 2.0, OpenOffice.org, etc. I mainly need to get these Microsoft fonts in for peoples websites and word documents. Unfortunatly the deb package had to be taken down b'cause M$ removed the fonts from their website so Im just trying to install it from a SMB share or cdr.
