Hello, I have a problem with the cyrillic and writing in Bulgarian in text files (In the Pidgin I have not problem). I saw that if I install the windows fonts this will resolve the problem, but I can't find slackware package and even source package. Can you give me some advices howto install it on my slackware-13 stable?

I have a SlackBuild script here which will automatically download the MS corefonts for you and create a Slackware package out of them which you install using the "installpkg" program: http://connie.slackware.com/~alien/s...refonts/build/ (the package will be created in the /tmp/ directory).

Please note that Slackware uses the Liberation Fonts as substitutes for the MS core fonts Arial, Times New Roman and Courier, so if you want to use the real MS fonts, you have to delete the symbolic link "/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-liberation.conf" first and reboot your computer.

After I made the .slackbuild executable and ran it, it's print and error that the .exe is not available:

Source 'andale32.exe' not available yet...
Will download file to /home/intel/corefonts

After that I installed cabextract and as I tryed again to start the script it's output that:

All done, no errors.
/home/intel/corefonts/impact32.exe: no valid cabinets found

All done, errors in processing 1 file(s)
./corefonts.SlackBuild FAILED at line 142!

But the other are installed yet. What to do now? Should I delete the defauld fonts yes and restart the system?

If you got that error about the impact32.exe file than you probably have a failed download.
This is what I see:
Try deleting your impact32.exe file and run the SlackBuild script again.

So, I installed the created corefonts.tgz package, removed the symbolic link and rebooted. Now I should be with the corefonts, but I can't write in Bulgarian yes.
