hey, I want to know if there is a place where I can download mkfontdir. It did not come with Slackware 9.

Outstanding. A post from "the other Horsham" (the original is up the road about 20 miles on the top edge of West Sussex - it's where we have our LUG meetings).



anyway, I don't recall having the mkfontdir either under mandrake 8.2 or 9.0 (it seems to be included in 9.1 that I now use).

I seem to remember that it "appeared" when I was messing about installing the M$ core fonts (again under 8.2 and 9.0).

So you could try looking/surfing the "corefonts" site and try the "cabextract" facility??

apart from that, I wouldn't know where to look - Slackware and all that command line config stuff is way way over my head!!!

Another Horsham? Is it as dull as this one? Anyway I'll try to look for those core fonts. Thanks

Yes, Horsham in West Sussex is probably as dull as Horsham, PA

I understand that it has quite a "young demographic", it's quite near London Gatwick, the airport to the south of London (it's more of a "london overspill" place). Which is probably it's main "claim to fame".
