This is to add Microsoft True Type fonts to your Linux. You will need access to Windows to do this. A good tip for this has already been made. I found no way to improve upon it, so I shall send you there...
Sorry to be pedantic, but you do not need access to windows to install truetype fonts in linux. i followed voidmain's instructions to the letter on a machine with no windows installed on it. I have a CD containing the 'fonts' folder from windows 2000, it does not have windows on the CD. in this case all i needed to do was copy the ttf fonts from that directory to achieve the desired result.
Sorry to be a bum about it, i know it's a minor point, but you are misleading people by saying they need windows for this trick. this is one more situation where windows itself is simply not required.

ok... you read your post again. You got fonts from windows2000 and put them on a CD.... does that not mean that you had to get them from windows?
you wouldnt have to if you downloaded them illegally, but i'm not gonna go find where i can.
(i changed it nonetheless, but it wont change till i upload my website again.)

no. the fonts can be downloaded in the case of the free ones (and there's a bog standard free assortment of free fonts in windows) and in the case of any illegal ones that might be among that lot, i am almost certain that carbon copies of those can be downloaded as well.
Might i point out also that had i had a real copy of windows handy instead (ie a windows 2000 install CD) it would have been completely useless to me for this endeavour, ie i would have had access to windows, and it would not have helped.

I mounted my brothers harddisk with smbfs and copyed them from his Windows folder on his computer. I am going to a lan-party soon so I will be putting winblows on anyway. :(

Welcome to the world of professional Cheese Racing!
This is the official homepage of the exciting cutting edge sport known as Cheese Racing. Here you will find everything you need to know about this deceptively simple, yet addictive and fiercely competitive sport.
New Stuff:
Check out the all new forum - there is an explanation for the change in the 'General' section.
Details of the recent CRASS event in France can be found here. Not that much cheese racing action but some interesting experiments with the local cheese.
Reader's photos - we have been quite literally inundated with photos of cheese racing action from all over the world (well mostly America), some of the best are now on the photos page. Keep them coming!
Get all the latest Cheese Racing news on the news page.
Introduction
Q: What do you think happens when you throw a slice of processed cheese (without removing the plastic wrapping) onto a lit barbeque?
The plastic melts giving off highly toxic fumes and you are left with a pretty grim cheese/plastic mess welded on to your BBQ, right?
WRONG!
Unbelievably what actually happens, as discovered by the pioneers and inventors of the sport way back in 1997 (read their account of that historic night on a campsite in Osmington here), is that the plastic pouch does not melt - even when the cheese inside eventually boils! Even more incredibly, as the cheese melts and the strange chemicals found in processed cheese turn to gas - the plastic pouch inflates until eventually all four corners lift off the BBQ and the pouch is fully inflated! Now under this pressure you might think that the pouch would eventually burst - but no - most of the time the seal remains intact!
Quite why processed cheese manufacturers choose to use such industrial strength, heat proof plastic to encase their products is something of a mystery - as is why NASA don't use this material instead of those expensive heat proof tiles on the space shuttle? Such important questions no doubt occurred to the first observers of this phenomenon on that night in Osmington, but that didn't stop them from coming up with a brilliantly simple sport based on it.
The Game
Each player throws a slice of cheese onto the BBQ.
The player who's cheese fully inflates first wins!
The full official CRASS (Cheese Racing Association) rules can be found here - but that is basically it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the rest of the site you will find everything you need to know about this fast growing and exciting sport - you may be sceptical now but believe me, once you have witnessed or taken part in your first cheese racing tournament - you will be hooked!
The weird thing is, after reading this, i honestly believe that i would be hooked! :eek: :eek: :eek:
