Hi there
Fonts in my Mandrake system is real hazzel.
I've tried to import the fonts from windows following a link authored by "jeffste"
I got the fonts to work in for example kword but on reboot my x went bust.
I fixed that with Xconfigurator, but the fixes did not survive reboot.
The friggin system just went on looking for some fixed Unix fonts and did not load X when it for some reason I don't know, could not find them. I for shure did not "hide" them.
Can anyone help - is there no easy way to do this? Or do I have to understand the whole innards of linux/mandrake???
:eek:

I had this too when I first installed M8. Really freaked me out!

But these links should help you:
