You'll have to google to see how much of this is different on CentOS, but on a debian-based distro...
If you want to add the actual .ttf from your XP box, take the .ttf and drop it in a directory on your linux box. Again, not sure where it should go in CentOS, but just maybe it's /usr/share/fonts/truetype . Then you: 'sudo fc-cache -f' (without the quotes) to rebuild your font cache. Best of luck. -CMP On 8/10/06, David McDowell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I didn't know I could do that... not even sure what approach to take. Could it have anything to do with the "wingdings.ttf" font not existing on my Linux box?? Apparently those checkmarks and bullets are from that TTF set.
