Hi All, I tried to post this last week but when it bounced I forgot to resend it. There are links to the fonts themselves as well as a link on how to instal the various other ttf fonts that one might find usefull form the "other" OS.
There are direct links in the press release that will take you where you might go. http://www.press.redhat.com/2007/05/09/liberation-fonts/ http://www.linux.org.mt/article/ttfonts Cheers, Dave Watkins Calgary I.T.

I believe automatix is bad. Use the sources from mediabuntu instead. The short answer is that they are "properly" integrated with Ubuntu, while Automatix is a hack that causes issues later. There is currently a flame war about this, but as a former Debian user, I prefer the mediabuntu or easyubuntu approach. sgrover wrote: > I just looked at my sources.list - It's rather vanilla, EXCEPT for the > Automatix repositories.
