ttf2pt1	This utility is required by the skFont Manager. It allows Skencil access to True Type fonts via conversion to PS Type 1. Use the below RPM: ttf2pt1-3.4.4-jab_SuSE_8.2.i586.rpm Installs in: /usr

Extra
Gv	The gv PS viewer is not related to the installation of Skencil. But, gv is highly recommended for viewing Skencil PS output. Frankly, the SuSE KDE default PS viewer konqueror/kghostview stinks!

In any case, use the above link of the SuSE (Novell) mirror sites to find the FTP site "closest" to you.
pstoedit	This PS conversion utility is the backbone of skLaTeX. Use the below RPM: pstoedit-3.33-jab_SuSE_8.2.i586.rpm Installs in: /usr. Note: this RPM of pstoedit is compiled without libplotter, libemf and libming. So it is limited in function.
