All of these fonts are already included in SuSE Linux 9.3. See the ftp version for example: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/noarch/farsifonts-0.4-3.noarch.rpm ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.3/suse/noarch/fonts-arabic-0.20040113-3.noarch.rpm You can use these font packages on your SuSE 9.1 system if you like. *** That's great, you/they were a step ahead of me ;) ! Well, it seems logical that Arabeyes fonts would be included; it looks to me, judging by the Arabic Linux users websites I've seen, that people in the Arabic speaking world like to use Linux relatively much. Thanks for the ftp's, I had installed the fonts before in another way, but I love rpm's. Much better than unzipping compressed files. I'll check out what the free-ttf-fonts package looks like. The name seems to refer to Hebrew fonts. So basically, all fonts on SuSE 9.3 ftp lists can be used by 9.1, you mean? Anyway as soon as I have some money I'll get me a 9.3 box. But my wife is pregnant and doesn't want me to spend too much time on the computer. For anyone who wants to use non-western languages without having to use more than one keyboard, or buy a fancy keyboard for that special language, I "discovered" that if you cut up some little Post-it style stickers and write the character on them, and put them in a corner of the keys, you can always remove them later on without messing up the keys. Especially good for black keyboards. Regards Herman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
