No, I don't have a CD burner...yet. :) I'm assuming you are suggesting 70-2
because the fonts are not supported property? Is this true? Is there anyone
else out there that is having problems with true type fonts? Is there a
documented "way" true type fonts should be set up on Mandrake? Any direction
would be great at this point.
>as to your font problem I dont know.
That is the only problem I have!
>netscape does not support all the html fonts....
I have been checking to see if the fonts are recognized by accessing the
text tool in gimp. They normally show right up when things are working
properly.
