Please help with font problem
Hello,
We are working on two servers here: one is an old SuSE 8.2, the other was
just migrated to debian testing (by me).
The debian machine works wonderfull, exept for one thing:
One program makes heavy use of "spectial" characters, such as the big
greek "Delta" or Chinese and Kanji characters. This works with the old
SuSE, but not (yt) on Debian. Unfortunatly I have nearly no clue, how all
the X11 fonts are handled and didn't manage to display these characters.
Can you please help me with this ? I attach the information that I think
you might want to know. Please tell me, if something is missing.
