If you are interested in using Windows fonts on your Psion it
may also be worth checking out FontMachine from mBrain Software
<http://www.mbrainsoftware.com/Psion/FontMachine/FontMachine.htm>.
It costs €18 to register so it's not too diffefrent from EPOC Fonts.
In my experience it works extremely well.

Hi John,
and thanks for the very clear tip!
It's much appreciated!
I worked for about a day without nConvert a while ago to get my phones from the MX to my MacBook and the result was usable, but far from perfect; I'lll try your nConvert solution.
best,
vlad a
NB:
- All programs from Neuon now come with a free registration, downloadable as a text-document from the same folder the apps reside in (nConvert, Doodler, nDirnav, some utilities and some games) at the address you mentioned:
http://www.neuon.com/downloads/
- The server at http://www.home.hccnet.nl/sems to be down, and the address www.mawby.me.uk didn't seem to work, but I think I have both CONVERTDATA and c2f somewhere and if remember right those two were freeware.
thanks again,
va

Subject: Yet Another EEE PC User
Ive finally joined the EEE PC club.
I just took delivery of a new EEE PC (white) 8G model today (8Gb drive, 1Gb RAM). The built-in Linux OS is cute and easy to use but Im not a big fan of Xandros (or Linspire or the many other small distros that always seem to be offered with these budget devices). The machine is much smaller than I thought (Im not complaining though believe me :-) Its probably the lightest laptop I have ever seen / used.
There is a lightweight version of Ubuntu called Xubuntu which I like and even better there is a EEE PC specific variant called eeexubuntu which I downloaded. Basically booting a PC with that CD and then running a script allowed me to put the install image on a bootable USB stick (Sony 1Gb) which was plugged into the desktop machine.
After creating this "boot disk", putting this into the EEE PC and selecting it as a boot drive worked first time. The desktop came up and I went through the stock installation procedure. After another reboot Im now running Xubuntu from the internal 8Gb drive (total install is 1.4Gb so there's plenty of space left).
So now I have a full Linux desktop running. There is a wiki on the eeeuser.com site with tweaks and customization hints which I have yet to work through but basically Im pretty impressed with this little machine.
My goal is to use it as a mobile development machine so Im probably going to be installing web servers, databases and programming languages on it. The basic install includes many useful applications such as Firefox, Abiword, etc.
Ill post more when Ive had more time to play with it.
