[Leaplist] GNU/Linux fonts?

[Jim Hartley]

Ooops! I mis-spoke. Looking around a bit more, apparently each font has 
its own license. One was shareware, another was "free for non-commercial 
use". The second one doesn't seem to work as well, but like I said, 
picking up fonts in Linux **MAY** require rebooting or at least 
restarting Xwindows (may also vary depending on if you are running Xorg 
or the old X86Free).
