Hebrew fonts and PPTP

[Yaniv Almog]

Shalom,   1. I have recently installed Microsoft’s TTF fonts on my Fedora core partition. I have installed them both with ttmkfdir and fc-cache.  However, I am getting squares on my screen when I try to view them on my screen. I didn’t have that problem with Redhat 9. any possible explanation and, of course, a solution?   2. Last June I installed a PPTP client (from pptpclient.sourceforge.net) to connect my computer through the cables to the Technion VPN server. It worked smoothly for two months but then, in August, because of Blasterworm, the Technion made some changes, one of them was to block the ping port. Since then I cannot connect to the internet. The PPTP clent dies off approximately one minuet after it starts (the login process works fine). Any ideas how to solve the problem? (I can still connect from my XP partition)   Thanks, Yaniv
