Hi,

I successfully installed eeebuntu 2.0 nbr on my eeePC 901. Looks great works perfect. I just would like to set the user hot keys to start Thunderbird and Firefox respectively. It should be...

The Acer Travelmate 291LCi of my wife running Ubuntu 8.04 freezes on shutdown and even on logout most of the times. It has an Intel 855 graphics adapter. I would like to exchange the intel video...

That's why I a always make a fresh install.

Do you have other packages installed using the Qt library, e.g. any KDE programs? Does it work there?

It is not true that SCIM does not work with Python applications. I am using CDict, a Chinese dictionary program written by myself in Python and it works well with SCIM in Hardy. The reason must be...

Refers to ubuntu 8.04. Reason for wishing to change the default font substitution is the terrible looking pixellated AR Pl Uming font used to display Chinese characters. This font contains bitmaps...

Me not.

Installed Hardy on an Acer 4652 LMi with 1GB RAM and Intel 940 Graphics. Works quite well except for ugly Chinese characters which is due to a font substitution problem.

No, I am German and living in Berlin, Germany. But I am doing a lot of work in Chinese. As you can see from the screenshot hte problem exists only in Chinese below a certain size of characters.

I get very ugly Chinese characters in 8.04 resulting from the use of the AR PL Uming font (see attached screen shot). In earlier Ubuntu versions I could avoid this by copying the Cyberbit font to...

I was afraid I might have to go back to a previous snapshot (I have one). However it is a bit boring because I have to redo a lot of updates and loose some data.

I guess you are right. I found out that setting the printer device by typing

BTW the same is true for the TeX system itself. Here also Breezy provides an antiquated version of tetex (2.x instead of 3.x) which lacks some important improvements.
