Re: emergency: Openoffice, Fonts, what a mess

ii xserver-xfree8 4.1.0-16woody1 the XFree86 X server
ii kdebase 3.1.4-0woody1 KDE Base metapackage
I installed 1.1.0 today after removing the old backport. Initially only two
fonts were aviailable (charter and courier, I believe). I then installed
msttcorefonts and x-ttcidfont-conf (ignoring the message about adding
FontPath entires to XF86Config-4) and now seem to have lots of fonts
available. I did notice that in the font dropdown that some of the Fonts
with the box and 1 symbol (not sure what it's really supposed to be, type 1
perhaps) don't display in the list or when typed in the text, such as
"Fangsong Ti". All the fonts with the A-A symbold are ok.
1.1.0 seems a big improvement!! Much faster startups!!!
Thaks,
Chris (Hurschler)
