I even gave the full URL to the .deb :) As well as msttcorefonts, which is an installer package which downloads the MS corefonts and sets them up for you. > Looking at the "list of > files", these seem to unpack into /usr/X11R6/X11/fonts/TrueType/ and > /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ instead of into > /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/. Yes, x-ttcidfont symlinks the fonts into /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/, they still get installed somewhere else. -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> | mlspam@ertius.org | Do I look like I want a CC?
