Hi Eugene. Thanks for the reply. I tried to use your script and it seems it works. However, I have the following trouble. Running
mkfontscale && mkfontdir does not produce iso8859-7 strings in the fonts.dir/alias files I googled this issue and it seems that these commands do not support iso8859-7 This is why I had stayed so far with old bitmap fonts for Greek. But now I want to work on LTSP and for some reason these fonts do not work. So I started looking around and got to your suggestions. Is there any way around this? And is it easy to add to your script support for the Ubuntu font family? best, Antonis.
