Hi,

I have a minimal installation of Debian Etch (with xserver-xorg-core
installed) that gives me an error message when I run the script -at the
bottom of this email.
The message says,
"
setfont: command not found
mapscrn: command not found
"

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong? This script is part of a
procedure that allows one to use Vim in Farsi -right to left-
script.Thanksfor your .

Hi,

as the script tells you, it cant locate those two binaries. Now the
question is: is your PATH environment set correctly to find binaries
in /bin /usr/bin etc? Or did you just miss to have the needed packages
which contain them?

apt-file search setfont|grep bin
kbd: usr/bin/setfont
kbd-compat: usr/bin/setfont

$ apt-file search mapscrn|grep bin
kbd: usr/bin/mapscrn
kbd-compat: usr/bin/mapscrn

so install kbd and try again (;

I think you are missing the 'kbd' package which contains setfont and mapscrn
requested my your script: run apt-get install kbd.
