Firebird Question

bubblenut

Totally unrelated to PHP, I know (unless you consider that there are many php programmers living in India, India also has many Elephants, Elephants have ears that can flap, flapping cause wind, wind can fan fires and firebirds like that), but I also know that a number of you use firebird so there's a pretty good change of you knowing the answer. How do I find out what font's I have available or is this more to do with the OS, if so how would I find this out on Redhat 9.0 and how would I get more?

Thanks
Bubble

Thought this would be about the dbms...oh well.

You might want to try fontconfig. This rant about firebird's fonts (and attached comments) you may find helpful.

Thanks mate, there was a link to an rpm that should help, I'll try it tonoght and get back.

This is also off-topic, but most elephants live in Africa. (There are some wild Indian elephants I believe, however, but quite a few of them live in Burma)

Two, the african elephant and the indian elephant.
I live in the NL and i've sat on the back of an indian elephant.
That was like woow (For us simple coke puffing and wooden shoe carrying dutchmen).

That's what most people think: it's only in recent years that it was realised that the elephants that live on the African plains are a different species from the smaller ones that live in African forests (among other things, if you get close to them you can see that the forest elephant has more toenails than the plains elephant). So: three.

Here we are, after all this time, and we're still discovering new species of land animals the size of elephants.

Last time I visited India I was too young to ride on the elephant 🙁

when I was a kid, we went to this petting zoo that used to be just outside of seattle. a lama there bit my foot.

a llama bit my arm at the metro vancouver zoo once...

(yes that is how llama is spelled. not as in dalai lama 😉)

oops, thanks!

Not been bitten, but I have been spat on by a llama...

And not long afterwards I found my neck grew longer and I was able to spit vast distances... maybe a radioactive llama?

Was it a radioactive one?
