Karsten, Fonts (in particular Truetype fonts) changed quite a bit just recently. I don't have a workthrough for you, just to suggest you make sure you have x-ttcidfont-conf installed, and that you check the archives. As for configuring GNOME1 apps in a GNOME2 environment, it is possible, but not easy. Someone on the gtk-gnome list suggested getting the source of the GNOME1 control center, and redoing the conflicts/dependencies to allow it to be installed at the same time as the GNOME2 control center. I would think there would be a better way, and if I come up with it, I'll let you know. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |Stephen Gran | Q: What do you call a WASP who doesn't work | |steve@lobefin.net | for his father, isn't a lawyer, and | |http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | believes in social causes?
