I don't know what a "seven segment display font" is. Can you find such
a thing somewhere in type 1 or truetype format? Then it can be used in
Linux.

There was such a font in an earlier version of OpenOffice (or StarOffice,
I can't remember), but I cannot find it in my OOo 1.1 default fonts
(Mandrake 10.0) anymore. I guess you should be able to find it somewhere
in openoffice.org site.

There is no such thing as a Linux font.

Styvaen.

IIRC it was an OOo or SO bundled in Gelecek Linux, a Turkish Linux distro
(a RedHat derivative). The fonts might have either come from upstream OOo,
or been added later by Gelecek. I don't know. But if you can't find the
fonts in openoffice.org then you must find them at Gelecek. Here is their
mirrors page:

http://www.geleceklinux.org/2004/yansilar.php

The page is in Turkish but layout is simple: There are 4 groups of
mirrors, each for a different distro version (1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0) which
are clearly indicated as the headers of the mirror groups. The versions
on which I had used the fonts were 1.1 and 2.0. I would suggest OOo fonts
from version 3.0 and if there is no 16-segment font in it (most probably
there is), go backwards to 2.0 so on.

Unfortunately the mirrors have checked have only iso images, no individual
rpms. They use synaptic for automated upgrades, and skimming their site I
couldn't find their mirror addresses for individual packages. Perhaps you
should mailto:bilgi@gelecek.com.tr and ask for it.

It may be that the PostScript font metrics in
http://www.fonthaus.com/products/fon...cfm?search=LCD are
convertible.

Someone more conversant in such matters than myself would be better able to
advise you.

Nothing needs to be converted. The Postscript or TrueType version has to
be installed. Exactly what this entails depends on what distribution is
being used and specifically on whether one is using fontconfig.

You could download the iso, mount it via loopback, and get the rpms that way.
Rather a pain (and a waste of bandwidth); I'd try writing them or searching
on rpmfind.net or freshrpms.net or some similar site first.
