Dear Mathematica users, Mathematica 4.0 did work perfectly fine for me under SuSE LINUX 7.1. After updating to 7.2, the command mathematica doesn't work any longer. Not a big problem - correcting the $PATH or aliasing solves it. math does work accordingly. However then we get when calling mathematica: Startup error: The Mathematica fonts are not properly installed in your system. Without these fonts, typeset mathematical expressions cannot be displayed properly. Exit - Continue« Clicking Continue repeats this error again an again. Exit aborts mathematica. This seems to be due to a missing or wrong xset command. I read the section on this issue in the System Administrators Guide, but on my system xset q results in /opt/kde2/share/fonts/override,...(lots of stuff),/opt/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1,/opt/mathematica/SystemF iles/Fonts/X which seems to be o.k. Also xset fp- ...(see above), xset fp+ ... has no effect. Re-installing Mathematica doesn't help. The links to FAQs on the Wolfram Research website don't work What have I possibly done wrong? Thank you for hints.
