Hi all,
Some good thing to share. I installed the new version of XFree86 that came
with PCQ (last month - XFree86-4.02). Interestingly, the new X font server
displays all (okay, not all, but most of them) the true type fonts that I
have. There are only few steps to be done to achieve this. This is what I
did.
1. First I created a new directory in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
directory. I called it "TrueType".
2. Then I copied all the true type fonts that I had into that directory.
3. Next I ran the following command
[root@localhost /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType]# ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir
4. Next I added the path of the newly made directory in the "catalog" of
the config file for xfs. The config file is at
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config. I also added the path in the "FontPath" of
XF86Config file.
5. Next, I restarted the font server,
[root@localhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart
That's it !!! Now you can have all your true type fonts. I could even have
Indian fonts working with it. :-)
More importantly, for GUI users, Netscape now looks much better. Believe
me, much better especially Netscape 6.1. I have tried it with both
Netscape 4.73 and Netscape 6.1 and both of them are able to use the
new fonts. Netscape 4.73 somehow is not able to use all of them. I don't
know why that is so. Netscape 6.1 uses all of them.
Will now try to use this fonts with StarOffice. BTW, I am not able to use
Java with StarOffice 5.1/5.2. I have jdk 1.3 installed. I have looked at
many places for some answers, but couldn't find. I tried some of the
solutions available on the net. The only difference now is that it does
not display any "errors", but still no applets. Quite wierd, specially
since both the products are made by the same company.

Rajen.
Hi,
Rajen, I have used a separate font server called xfstt.
It is available via freshmeat.
I am very satisfied with its performance and it is very
easy to configure.
In case you have used it, how is the performance of
XFree86-4.02 as compared to xfstt. I am unaware of what
is meant by anti-aliased fonts etc. In fact I do not know
much about fonts. But xsftt is excellent. I borrowed some
true type fonts from a Windows 98 machine.
I do not know if it is the right way.
Please comment.
Regards,
Ashok

Hi luggerrs !!
I have OPTi 82c931 as sound card for which i installed the Alsa
driver ..
I'm using Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 ..
I installed the driver as instructed by the INSTALL file ..
However even after inserting the module manually using modprobe,
my PC is still mute ..
Have tried to unmute the mixer in the KDE using kmix but it says
'You do not have enough permissions. Log in as root and
chmod a+rw /dev/mixer' ..
however I was logged in as root and it actually has full rwx
permission for all ..
The contents of /proc/asound/sndstat says
'Audio Devices:Not enabled in config'
Ditto for Synth Devices & Mixer Devices ..
Has any body configured such sound card previously ?
Shud I post the pnpdump file alongwith the mail ?
Please guide me ..
Thanks in advance ..

Hey linuxers,
How do I set up Pine so that the recipient's mail client
displays the from header as "From: Chrisil" ? Although I am using a role
with "Set From: Chrisil <ajjoseph(a)powersurfer.net>", the from header in
the recipient's client appears as "From: ajjoseph(a)powersurfer.net".
Even while composing Pine displays the header "From: Chrisil
<ajjoseph(a)powersurfer.net>".
Also I need to send mail through my ISP's SMTP server using
Mutt. For this I need to setup sendmail(Is this called relay??). How can I
configure sendmail for this. I have no experience configuring sendmail.
Please help.
Chrisil.
