Hello all, I'm new user of Mathematica 4.0 and I try to install a trial version on a Linux network (for others users). Unfortunately, I have the following troubles. Apparently, the correct fonts are loaded (Type1 and X) but sometimes the backspace key doesn't respond. Instead of a backspacing it's just a spacing. In addition, when this doesn't work, it is impossible to select with the mouse one line of the notebook. (instead, all lines are selected). In fact, I think that all works as if the shift key was pressed during all operations but this is not the case. What's wrong ? Is it another option of 'xset' to configure ? Another fonts to load ? Some Mathematica options to select ? In advance, thank you very much. Laurent. -- Laurent JACQUES (Doctorant F.R.I.A.)
