thanks, that was it. i got it to work now: first, i translate to Type-1, got to stay native, you know: for i in *.ttf; do ttf2pt1 -b $i ${i%%.ttf}; done then, i create the font.scale file with the script at http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/4413 then i use mkfontdir and the two xset lines, and bingo, it works! thanks all! martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "there is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life." -- frank zappa
