Help File Library: Webfonts for Netscape


Written By: bluesky

For people who use redhat linux, there is another easy way to add webfonts for netscape. Go to the following site and download the package webfonts-1-3.noarch.rpm then install this package as root. You are then set don't even need to reboot. I used redhat 6.1 but it should work with 7.0 or 6.0 or even 5.0. Anyway, there is no harm to try.

Here is the URL:

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/contrib/noarch/SRPMS/webfonts-1-3.src.html

Don't know how to install a RPM? Follow these instructions:

  • Open up an xterm or switch to a console and log in as root using the 'su -' command
  • In the directory where you saved the file, type the command:
    rpm --rebuild webfonts-1-3.src.rpm
    
  • That will create the RPM you can install in the directory
    /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/
    
  • 'cd' to that directory and install the webfonts RPM with
    rpm -Uhv webfonts-1-3.noarch.rpm
