You can choose alternate fonts using the "File->Configure->Fonts" menu. This works best if you have the "xfontsel" program installed, which lets you select fonts graphically instead of by name. > In addition I have a map that I downloaded from USGS web site that I > would like to use but it's in the .pdf format.

There is a script installed with xastir called "geopdf2geotiff.pl" that can do this, but it only works if you have GDAL/OGR libraries and programs installed. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
