Re: [SLE] Microsoft fonts


I just did a fresh install on a box of SUSE 9.3 Professional, and when I
did the update it was going fine but it freezes up on the font from
Microsoft, and I'm wondering what my options are to get them installed. Any
suggestions?

Actually it sometimes freezes and sometimes works. Here is how I work around
it.

I updated system via Yast without installing M$ Fonts. Next step, I installed
Iptraf and run it. So I can monitor all network connections in real time. I
simply picked up the all interfaces option. So I can monitor all.

Last step is installing fonts. I run Yast and checked the M$ fonts. It
downloads a shell script to install fonts. You will see the progess is %99.
Actually it is not, script is running and installing fonts. It takes time

I waited for the script to finish. All fonts are installed. If you are not
sure about the process, simply use up and down arrows on Iptraf, so you can
see the transfer.

p.s: Iptraf runs on console. Become root and type iptraf.
