Are there some better fonts I could use instead? Not all fonts support resizing. The fonts distributed with MS Windows have traditionally been freely available for use elsewhere. You may want to try these. I recently ran across a reference to a "webfonts" RPM (for RedHat) which may deuglify your Netscape browsing experience. Many, many sites use broken HTML with <font face=foo size= unreadable> tags. I'd be interested in seeing how this installs under Debian or if there is a comperable package. > 3.

You can run this script (/etc/init.d/foo) directly. The /etc/rc<number>.d directories are part of what's called SysV init, and manage starting and stopping system services. -- Karsten M.
