YUM Repositories

Fedora has 2 repositories named ‘fedora’ and ‘updates’. To use them and not get errors about unsigned packages you must import their GPG keys.

Install additional repositories with:

rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/*
sisa

Livna

rpm -hiv http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
rpm --import http://rpm.livna.org/RPM-LIVNA-GPG-KEY

Information about the Tigro repository. It is compatible with Livna, but not with Freshrpms repository. Non-free version contains couple of usefull utilities
as VirtualBox (Sun’s open source VMware pandan), Skype (not to go directly and add a repository), etc.

http://txt.binnyva.com/2007/04/installing-ms-core-fonts-on-linuxfedora/ (fali repository, http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=1016903)

yum install freetype-freeworld (if you have livna or tigro repository)

http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ (This does not have Tahome, so I use the following instead)

http://www.sharpfonts.com/

yum install cabextract

mkdir -p /tmp/fontscd /tmp/fonts

wget --recursive --level=1 --no-parent --no-directories --accept "*32.exe" http://www.sharpfonts.com/fonts/

mkdir -p /usr/share/fonts/truetype/

cabextract -d /usr/share/fonts/truetype *32.exe

wget http://www.sharpfonts.com/fontconfig.tbz

tar xvjpf fontconfig.tbz -C /etc/fonts/

Now, restart X with <Ctrl><Alt><Backspace>

Final tweaks

As user (not root): echo "gtk-menu-popup-delay=0" >> ~/.gtkrc-2.0
