Thanks. Is it documented somewhere how to use rootskel-gtk to loop through multiple locales making screendumps for each locale? Or anything similar, automated, which I might use as starting point? I am not familiar with working interactively with debian-installer. which seems a requirement (apparently rootskel exist as udeb only). That's why I prefer something scripted as starting point that I can adapt for my experiments of replacing fonts. What would be ideal for me as starting point is something like this: <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/GUIFonts#Creating_screenshots> (as mentioned previously, above specificall seems to be obsolete.) - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
