Franz, I made the Makefile for bitstream-vera do all the work for you.=20 Basically, all you need to do is install it, add the one FontPath line to XF86Config, then restart X. After logging back in, you should be able to use all the new fonts. NOTE, the Bitstream fonts will not appear unless you restart X (or at least the GNOME application you want them to appear in). =20 Joe >=20 > franz. --=20 PGP Key : http://www.marcuscom.com/pgp.asc --=-F9dyqGV4BM92f63BSrhQ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA+VCYnb2iPiv4Uz4cRAuZnAKCUrkz4Njz2UzrVm7b/Ue4q+AsHkQCdE35R NrMeI5F1TyF0mPOUp61eMYg= =kR/B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-F9dyqGV4BM92f63BSrhQ-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
