I have two problems with such a setup: First is that the official xserver-xfree86 package appears not to be defoma- or at least x-ttcidfont-conf-aware. So I have to do a trick or two with my favorite editor after reconfiguring xserver-xfree86. (Actually the editor part is just cat font_path.txt >> XF86Config-4) Should this be filed as a wishlist bug? Second is that I have a program that for some reason doesn't recognize symlinks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
