This font is available on ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2006.0/i586/media/main/fonts-ttf-big5-1.3.0-1mdk.noarch.rpm If you want other huge fonts files, I suggest you try too : ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2006.0/i586/media/main/fonts-ttf-chinese-1.3.0-1mdk.noarch.rpm since it takes several seconds for fc-cache to cache it. -- Frederic Crozat <fcrozat@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Mandriva _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
