Hmmm. I learn something new everyday, I thought it was part of the standard fonts. dpkg says it came in kdebase fwrsl-11:~> dpkg -S /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/linux8x16.pcf.gz kdebase: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/linux8x16.pcf.gz I'm sure there are other fonts with the proprietary line drawing charset in the standard XFree86 dist. -- Matt Porter [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is Linux Country.
