I never had the mentioned problems with my Hardy installation. may be I'm just lucky
Every one remember to Keep your distro up-to-date and you should not have any problems. Also Google is your friend. learn to use it. You can also install fonts in your home folder .... create a directory name .fonts in your home folder, and paste them in that folder.... can't get easier then this :p Command>> # mkdir ~/.fonts I'm not sure what is wrong with the keyboard scheme (or layout?), add the Keyboard Indicator applet in the Panel. You just need to click to change the keyboard layout (if you have multiple keyboard layout) -------------- Mahmood Arena Mobile, Bangladesh -- ubuntu-bd mailing list ubuntu-bd@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
