Hi Nick
[big snip]
I have been installing Suse for them, but when I get Mandrake 10.0, I will change to that
Hmm, 10.0 is very much 'testing' at the moment - might be best to stick with 9.2.1 for the time being and wait for the tested version in a few months' time. .
On the MS fonts, after Yast update. with MS fonts installed ( Yast update states "installing MS Fonts") Suse 9.0 The text in the websites changed on Konqueror, the news ticker on BBC "runs out of space" . I preferred he previous configuration I cannot seem to find a happy compromise on configuring Konqueror, Googling, I find I am not the only one with the problem but no answer. could it be the KDE updates?
Which version of KDE is installed? FWIW I don't get these problems with the version I am using in Mdk9.2 - KDE 3.1.3 Konqueror 3.1.4 .
(Am waiting for a stable version of mandrake to include 3.2 before upgrading, simply because at present I don't have time to mess around if it caused problems. I think it's on the latest Knoppix though, may try that for curiosity).
In Konqueror, Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> Fonts I have minimum font size 7, medium font size 10 (have not altered these from the install defaults) and various flavours of Bitstream Vera for most of the default fonts. (The BBC site may use MS fonts though).
TBH I don't use Konqueror for web browsing very much although it is an excellent file manager. Opera or Mozilla have features that suit my needs and habits better.
Haven't yet tried any of the recent slimmed-down versions of Mozilla though. A project for another w/e perhaps - I fiddle around for an hour or to most saturday mornings trying to configure something new and not break things that already work :-)
