AJones -

Just want you to know that you are not being ignored. Fonts haven't been a hot topic here so you are kinda on a new topic though I am sure that many people are curious. Fonts are something that I am very interested in but just haven't had the time to explore.

Good Luck

Chris

To make the newer fonts work..
I had to use and install the gtk2.dsl , which has the
newer font management packages in it, ( pango/defoma )

The artwiz fonts, on the other hand, work nicely using the
methods you referred to in your earlier posts..

I always assumed that freetype fonts required libfreetype, xft, etc., which are not part of DSL.

Also, the Windows I cannot resize them, I can only bring them forward, shade etc, Is there a resize function to resize all Windows, all of them open up maximized.

Forgot to reply to that bit.
Not sure exactly what you mean, but some things to try are Alt+RightClick, which allows you to resize a window from anywhere within the window, just hold down and drag to resize.
I think Alt+LeftClick allows you to drag a window around to reposition it, again without needing to grab the title bar.
Handy when things maximise too big for your screen.

You could also use fluxter (the little "window" boxes which give an indication of your open apps in the multiple desktops), you can actually drag the mini-apps around in this, so you can drag them up far enough to reach the resizing handle in the bottom right (and left?) corner of the app, then drag it to the required position again in fluxter.

Not very coherent, only just had my morning coffee :D

These functions are cool, I will try getting gtk2.dsl, I  want to use my fonts. I get this message at startup.
Could not Load Group.
BScreen :: 0 Could not load BScreen::0
Cold not load Font :: Clean *-------75dpi--------***
something of that sort.

Thanks BTW for your answer. As of NOW DSL fits my immediate needs on this computer, I can connect to the internet & also Like the expandable feature. I tried TEST your Firewall on the web, although I still dont have a Firewall, except for port 3248 all were closed (but not secure). In anycase I will load a Firewall like GuardDog.
