I've got two printers configured and can 'see' them both from every other program (netscape, older gimp). I fired up gimp from the command line and found that when I bring up the print dialog box, an error is displayed saying that 'usr/bin/lpstat' can not be found. I suspect this is the problem. I've since found that lpstat comes with the new lprng driver, so I'll have to look into that I guess. > > Jakub Steiner > -- > -[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-[ http://hideout.musichall.cz ]- > > "even a stopped clock gives a right time twice a day" -- Until later: Geoffrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] Microsoft != Innovation

Re: Getting gimp to work with $LANG?

Basically, neither redhat nor suse (debian seems to have fixed this recently) do not come with full locales for shortened locale settings (for example, LANG=de_DE or even LANG=deutsch works, but LANG=de not, since there is no full de locale), so setting the locale fails. Arguably this is correct, since LANG=de (or LANG=sv) is not a full locale specification (no charset, no country), which means it is unclear what collating sequence (for example) should be used, so setting the locale fails. Since glibc translates messages (LC_MESSAGES!) regardless of wether a locale was set or not it's not obvious that it failed (except for perl, which complains), but every other locale aspect (character types, sorting etc..) will not work as expected. > suspect that all the errors and checking done by perl makes the > startup-process take much longer than it has to. However, this is only done once for each script and never again. After that script-fu completely dominates the startup-time, so nuking that one will decrease average loading time the most (if that is a concern for you). > Anyone know of a way to fix this, or is the only solution to unset $LANG You can either use a correct locale setting (try LANG=svenska, maybe or LANG=sv_SV.iso8859-1), install a full locale (man localedef) or just slience the perl warning (env. variable PERL_BADLANG=0). The latter is quick way to silence the warning, but note that the locale still is invalid and won't be used by perl or gimp or any other program. Yet another solution would be to NOT set LANG (since this is the global setting), but LC_MESSAGES only, since there *is* a message catalog for LANG=sv. More tips can be found e.g. in the manpage for perllocale under "LOCALE PROBLEMS". -- -==- | ==-- _ | ---==---(_)__ __ __ Marc Lehmann +-- --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] |e| -=/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ XX11-RIPE --+ The choice of a GNU generation | |

Re: more fonts?
Type 1 fonts are out there, you have to search. However, at http://fonts.linuxpower.org/help.php3?title=Help is very good instructions on how to add True Type Font rendering to X11. Good luck!

more fonts?
Hi there! In the Gimp FAQ, I found a hint for using the "freefonts" and the "sharefonts" as additional fonts. Nevertheless, I would like to have an even bigger choice. Does anybody have further links to more fonts usable in XFree86 an Gimp? Thanks for any hints, Matthias -- http://www.selflinux.de [EMAIL PROTECTED]
