Re: What could be missing?

Well, in order to do that (installing all the packages) I would have
to repartition the hard drive (presently, there's also a FAT32
partition on it) to create the necessary space. Another alternative
would be to place the whole filesystem on a memory stick and boot it
via the USB port. To keep installing selective combinations of
packages until things start working out is too much work. So much work
... and I feel I've invested enough of my time and energy into this
project.
In one of your previous posts you mentioned that you've seen a similar
behavior in your NEdit being caused by non-standard fonts. The Luxi
Mono fonts I was able to find are not from the Slackware distribution
- could not find any Slackware Luxi Mono fonts online and I no longer
have the old 12.2 CD, so I ended up downloading a debian package named
XFree86-Non-Free-Luxi-Mono-Fonts (or something to that extent) - they
are TTF fonts. Maybe it's a font problem, as you say, and I'd like to
give it one last try with standard Slackware mono fonts. Is there a
way you could provide a small set of the Luxi Mono fonts that work in
your NEdit, so that I could download them, or perhaps could you email
them to me?
I'd need medium, medium oblique, bold, bold oblique - just one of each
in the iso8859-1 charset. That would be great, if you could do it.
Who knows, perhaps it will work....if not, I'll resign myself to keep
using ex-vi on the old machine.
