So what do > I need to do? The latest version of xfstt is in slink (unstable). It works (I mean.. _I_ am using it :) ) It DOES have an init.d script...and the script works fine for me...still might get some tweaking tho... BUG: /etc/init.d/xfstt is NOT a conffile in the current package this means basically this...if you modify the init.d script and you install a new version...your changes will be lost. This will also be fixed RSN (at the same time as the port 7100 thing) The current version has already moved the location of the truetype fonts dir from /var/ttfonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype this is because /var/ttfonts violates both the fsstnd and the fhs very flagrantly. -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** sjc@delphi.com ** "All authority is quite degrading." -- Oscar Wilde
