Oh, by the way, as of 12.04, Ubuntu unbundled the old standard fonts that Xastir uses by default. You can install them separately using the "xfonts-100dpi" and "xfonts-75dpi" packages. Throw in xfonts-misc as well. sudo apt-get install xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-misc then add the new fonts to your font path: xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi Then Xastir will be able to use the default fonts it comes configured with. This was one of the annoyances I encountered when I upgraded from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS on my laptop. -- 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
