The fonts look upgrade netscape. 4.74 fixed a major security bug (executable jpegs, IIRC), and so did 4.75 (something with Java). get 4.75. > > absolutely horrid and are near impossible to read. when checking the > > preferences in netscape, the types available have a (urw) after them.

Basically this should be it, as it runs 'chkfontpath --add' in its post-install script. > > Mandrake User.Org has a good Netscape tuneup section that you might > find interresting too :-=D > > http://www.mandrakeuser.org/connect/cbrowse2.html As for some other tips mentioned in that page: * Mandrake 7.2 already ships with the 128bit encryption version * the default /usr/bin/netscape script already runs netscape -remote when necessary * as for the kilanim script: does it actually work? If so: would any kind soul here integrate it as an optional feature of the /usr/bin/netscpe script? Also go over /etc/X11/app-defaults/Netscape (or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape on older versions) and configure key bindings, menu labels, dialog texts, fonts etc. It can be configured on a per-user basis ($HOME/Netscape) as well. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir
