Attention RedHat Users

<< < (3/4) > >>

voidmain:
RedHat removed the font installer for KDE 3.x. However, all you have to do is create a ~/.fonts and dump all your *.ttf files in there and they will all be detected immediately with no further action. And thanks for the info LU. Like I said, it's not a big deal, I think I like the panel way better. I've always thrown ICONs on the desktop and now that I think about it, they never got used. Nothing more than clutter really.

KernelPanic:
what I did in redhat was copy all my *.ttf's to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF and then restart xfs with

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart

and then I restarted X and had my fonts. Just an alternate method....

KernelPanic:
Hmm, my fonts aren't availiable to konqueror though. I don't care I wanted them for OO.

Crunchy(Cracked)Butter:
Not directed at anybody but.  Over here in europe there is a different version of RH 8 personal, it comes with a bonus cd containing all the multimedia apps that are not normally available.  Whats the point in the 2 versions.

Seeing this i might get it now.  If you didn't know anyway then point your browsers to www.europe.redhat.com/shop/en . Look in the comparision section and there it is.  Like i said i might get it now.  But what i want to know is is this extra cd going to be part of the install process or is there some update feature in RH like YAST2  that way its easy to install these extra apps?  I ask because i'm not to good on installing linux apps yet and wonder if RH does it for me?

fot the fonts, this should work. go over to a coworkers windows machine, and search for .ttf files and burn them to cd, when the cd is done burning/*or if you have a network connect, use a little bit of magic to get the files back to the linux machine*/, go take a shower to get the windows scumm off of you, and stick cd in the linux box and copy the .ttf files in a directy, lets say in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF

then tell your xfs server to were those files are, the config file is normaly in /etc/X11/fs/config
restart X and xfs and you should have all the nice windows fonts and that might help/*imho the best part of windows and it did help for somewebsites*/

in addition to that, i normally install all the fonts for X i can


also for icons, i don't know what they were thinking when they designed it that way. but i will try to use more panels and see if the experiance is better
