Comment on Displaying Dynamic Fonts in Firefox by imdonatello

I always thought that firefox would be able to automatically figure out unicode fonts. But a little googling around shows that there are some caveats. Have a look yourself:

Can you give me an example of such a site anyway?

Well, all the instructions here are for firefox. But they were for awhile ago. No idea if its useful now.

@scott: For the games question: Which OS are you trying to install from? For Suse, you can try the Yast tool, for Ubuntu you can use synaptic or “Add/Remove…” menu option in Applications menu. There are many games available which you can find inside these tools. They will automatically install them on your computer.

For the permission errors, just add permissions by right clicking the file and then opening properties. In the “Permissions” tab click add the permission to *execute* the file.

THANK YOU!!!!! after hours of endless fruitless googling
the following worked like a charm!!!!

sudo lshw -C network

To get your card running, create a file in /etc/modprobe.d called iwl3945. Paste the following into it:

alias wlan0 iwl3945
options iwl3945 disable_hw_scan=1 hwcrypto=1
