xfree fonts

[Jorge R . Csapo]

Hi again, all,

I was trying to install some TrueType fonts in my Xfree86 and everything seemed
to work fine, but I'm getting this:

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TT/, removing from list!

Notice that TT is my newly create truetype dir, but Speedo is the original one
that came with XFree.

Relevant info:

Distro: Slackware 8.0
Kernel: 2.4.5
XFree86: 4.1.0

Any ideas?

TIA

You need to load the appropriate modules:

	Section "Module"
	    Load	"freetype"
	    Load	"speedo"

This assumes that you have the necessary modules:

	$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/
	total 580
	-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     root        81104 Jan 19  2002 libbitmap.a
	-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     root        95376 Jan 19  2002 libfreetype.a
	-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     root        71464 Jan 19  2002 libspeedo.a
	-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     root       199936 Jan 19  2002 libtype1.a
	-rwxrwxr-x    1 root     root       118006 Jan 19  2002 libxtt.a

See /usr/lib/X11/doc/README.fonts for more details.

Ping Problem

[Mohd Saifullah]

Greetings!

I am getting packet loss frequently during 'ping'ing. The following is the 
description of the source, destination and network.

Source: a linux system (RH 7.1)
Destination: a linux system (RH 7.2)

Both are in two different LANs. These LANs are connected through
H-Connects with link capacity 2Mbps. I want to measure this link's
capacity. For that i am using ping for some duration and taking the SNMP
interface octets measurements (This algorithm is accurate). But the
problem is 'ping' frequently reporting packet loss (20% to 100%) 15 times
out of 100 observations. Another surprising thing during that time link
utilization is 2% to 10% (by SNMP octets). Any idea where the problem is?
or any other easy way to calculate link actual bandwidth, please?

Thanks,
Saif
