No need to use Babefish to translate my question, even
though I am French...
I've sent the follwing question "Can not start ethereal"
in english:)) but did'nt get any feedback.
Could somebody tell which font to use and where I can get
it. It's frustrating not to be able to use ethereal just
because of the font issue. Or should I switch to the Win
OS :(.
Thank you for any kind of help.
François
Below a copy of the mail, I sent the first time
-----------
I am currently running Linux on Mandrake 7.1, and I had
exactely the same
problem as Jaime (See below).
Ethereal doesn't start because of the font issue.
I have tried with many fonts that were indicated by the
command "xlsfonts":
still does'nt work.
Like james I have tried with a binary and a source
distribution.
Could someone tell me what font I sould use, and where I
can get it.
I have been looking on the web (for quite a long time)
for the Lucidatypewriter
font. I couldn't figure where to get it.
I will appreciate some help as I am Stuck.
Thanks Folks,
François

Hi Jaime,
I'm not sure, with your comment about installation, if
this is what you
are asking for, but I use
# ethereal -m
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-p-46-iso8859-
1&
The font name must appear after the -m flag and must be
one exactly
reported by xlsfonts.
Hope this helps.
