I used Mathematica 3.02 under Linux debian2.0 and it worked well. Now I tried to use it under Linux debian2.2 (and plan debian3.0) and after typing in xterm (icewm) $mathematica I got the following message: ************************************************************************** *Startup Error: *The Mathematica fonts are not properly installed in your system. *Without these fonts, typeset mathematical expressions cannot be displayed *properly. * *Exit Continue ************************************************************************* next I choose Continue and got the following: ********************************************* Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean assertion `GenericUnicodeFont != ((void *)0)' at MathEditFont.c:43 failed assertion `GenericUnicodeFont != ((void *)0)' at MathEditFont.c:43 failed assertion `GenericUnicodeFont != ((void *)0)' at MathEditFont.c:43 failed Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean Warning: Cannot convert string "True " to type Boolean ********************************************* Eventually Mathematica start up and seems to work well but the warnings suggest something is wrong. I was thinking about writing to wolfram technical support but first I'll try to get help on this forum. Does anybody have any idea how to install properly (may be some extra) fonts? Jan
