No need to use Babefish to translate my question, even 
though I am French...
I've sent the follwing question "Can not start ethereal" 
in english:)) but did'nt get any feedback.

Could somebody tell which font to use and where I can get 
it. It's frustrating not to be able to use ethereal just 
because of the font issue. Or should I switch to the Win 
OS :(.

Thank you for any kind of help.

Below a copy of the mail, I sent the first time


-----------
I am currently running Linux on Mandrake 7.1, and I had 
exactely the same 
problem as Jaime (See below).
Ethereal doesn't start because of the font issue.
I have tried with many fonts that were indicated by the 
command "xlsfonts":
still does'nt work. 
Like james I have tried with a binary and a source
distribution.
Could someone tell me what font I sould use, and where I 
can get it.
I have been looking on the web (for quite a long time) 
for the Lucidatypewriter
font. I couldn't figure where to get it.

I will appreciate some help as I am Stuck.

Thanks Folks,

Fran�ois

Hi Jaime,

I'm not sure, with your comment about installation, if 
this is what you
are asking for, but I use

# ethereal -m
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--8-80-75-75-p-46-iso8859-
1&

The font name must appear after the -m flag and must be 
one exactly
reported by xlsfonts.

Hope this helps.
Scott
