You can either install them or use the TrueType fonts by using the -fa option from the command-line or setting the faceName resource in your resource-file. The "missing fonts" warning is for less-essential fonts, e.g., for the input-method, etc. -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
