I don't know if this will solve all your problems, but here is a quick explanation on how to install the missing bitstream fonts: 1. apt-get install ttf-bitstream-vera x-ttcidfont-conf 2. Add the following line to the "Files" section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4: FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" (If you use xfs, you can also configure xfs accordingly) 3. (optional) dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig If asked for the bitmap fonts, choose "No". This will make fontconfig select the bitstream fonts as default for serif, sans-serif and monospace aliases. You should also be able to tell gimp to use another font, probably by changing your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 or ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine, either manually or by running "switch2" from the gtk-theme-switch package. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
