Re: Why is Java so unstable in Linux?

I have TrueType-fonts installed. This is installed as default.
I search for Microsoft in Yast, but no Microsoft fonts comes up.

How do i install Microsoft fonts?

Well hidden. Do a Yast Online Update, you'll find the fetchmsfonts.sh script (or
some such) as an optional update on the left side.

Hi!
Tanx! It work!

But what is the different between YOU and Yast? Why didn't i find M$
Fonts in Yast?
YOU also manage to install the Amarok-update that "OpenSUSE Updater"
couldn't do!

Is YOU a better tool to do updates?

Ronny,

I assume it doesn't show optional updates, which makes sense.

To be honest I hardly ever use Yast for software any more, Smart is much faster.
I leave the updater applet running to see if there's anything important waiting,
though.

I used smart for 10.1 and 10.2, but the update in 10.3 is so much better &
easier that I dropped smart almost immediately.
