That'd be me! ;) I just joined the list, and haven't had a chance to install Psyche just yet, so bear with me.

What does 'xlsfonts |grep -i arial' say? Did you run the script '/usr/X11R6/bin/core_font_install.sh'? That should install the fonts and make them available to the system. The reasoning behind not running the script from within rpm is the need to display the MS EULA, and have the user accept it. rpm isn't designed to deal with interactive scripts. In fact, while they work from the command line well enough, they break the various GUI interfaces. That said, according to the release notes, there are some changes in font handling, which I'll look at as soon as I get a system up and running Psyche. In the mean time, if you do have issues with the fonts, please let me know. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3} in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj2aTxwACgkQn/07WoAb/SuRGwCePTv5n1CecRBWrChFjcDxIV3Z ed8AniUIzNI+D67B/HZY3hprk7fIKkMa =L9MZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
