How can I add these true-type-fonts > to FC2? I've made an improved package for BU Linux, which is Fedora Core 2 based. I submitted the changes back to the corefonts.sf.net guy, but he wasn't interested. (Hmmm, actually looking at it I can think of a few more changes I want to make. But it's basically good.) My package includes the spec file and a helper script for rebuilding everything automatically. So, get and install <ftp://linst.bu.edu/bossanova/RPMS/msttcorefonts-builder-1.3-3bu40.5.noarch.rpm> This will install the spec file as /usr/share/msttcorefonts-builder/msttcorefonts-1.3-3.spec and the script "/usr/bin/get-msttcorefonts". You should be able to run get-msttcorefonts as a regular user -- no need to be root! -- and then you'll end up with msttcorefonts-1.3-3mdm3.noarch.rpm in that directory, which you can install. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
