Hi, I have a few questions for the net community. 1) Other than the PD and sharware fonts on sonata.cc.purdue.edu in the pub/next/misc directory, are there any PostScript type 1 or 3 fonts available in the public domain? They need not already be in NeXT format, if they are reasonably close. If people send me pointers I will summarize, and if I get them working on my NeXT I'll post them to the archives. 2) Occasionally I run Scene or Icon or some other 'leaky' program and my swapfile grows quite large, consuming lots of disk space. Rebooting reduces the swapfile to the lowat mark, but is there any safe and standard way to do this without logging out as myself? (i.e. I don't want to log out and log back in as root). I am on a not-networked 2.0 68030 NeXT (12 MB of memory). Ideally I would like to su to root in a Terminal window and run mach_swapon or some such program to do the job (can't get mach_swapon to do what I want though). Thanks, Shane
