But the link to fireflysung is dead. I'll think about rewording that whole part of the page for 7.10. Apart from the dead link, I would like to drop the ms-fonts link and instead mention that *some* web pages think everybody uses windows and that for those it may be best to use fonts with similar characteristics (e.g. from memory Liberation fonts). Alternatively, does anybody here actually install the windows fonts? If so, a link to the licence plus current details for obtaining and installing them would be useful. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
