Mathemtica fonts are in "<installation>/<directory>/SystemFiles/Fonts/BDF" and "<installation>/<directory>/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1". Add this paths to your "XF86Config", or manually add it with "xset fp+ <installation>/<directory>/SystemFiles/Fonts/BDF" "xset fp+ <installation>/<directory>/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1" or tell "xfs" to handle these font directories. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ I Dr. Olaf Rogalsky Institut f.
