Ok, now I'm really confused: I ran this to extract out the .deb:
$ dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/xfonts-base_4.3.0-5_all.deb xbase $ grep ^fixed xbase/etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias fixed -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 Ok so that's the correct encoding. Then I did this: # apt-get remove xfonts-base # rm -f /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias # dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/xfonts-base_4.3.0-5_all.deb # cat /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias cat: /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias: No such file or directory So, why didn't that file get installed with dpkg -i ? And how did I get a xfonts-base.alias with 8859-15 encodings. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
