So I didn't try to do anything like that... Yet. I had actually considered fixing the original and putting it into PLF, but then we would have wanted to have the fonts on the PLF mirrors, so that if you could install the rpm, you could get the fonts (ie in my case, we have a local Mandrake mirror, but anything outside our net requires the use of an interactive program to get access through the firewall, and costs quite a bit charge per MB). > > Given co-operation from Mandrake, there's no reason why it couldn't be > improved to do that. > Which would solve the problem above of either not having a network connection, or one that is too slow ...
