1. First to embed a font you must open the Library (ctrl + L) and add the font you would like to embed.
   
2. Now Click on Embed
   
3. Choose the characters you would like to embed
   
   
4. Save, Publish and you’re done.

Well how do you makes these two Operating Systems operate on the same machine, well it is a little tricky and you need at least 2 HDD. This shouldn’t be too difficult.

1. Make sure BIOS can change the boot sequence of drives (if not this trick will not work)

2. Now all you need to do is install Vista on your 1^st HDD

3. Reboot and change the BIOS setting to boot to the 2^nd HDD

4. Install Linux

Over and done with and now that you have Linux on its separate HDD you can install multiple other Linux distros on that drive since you have Grub or whichever boot loader you have chosen to install. This way Windows has its own HDD it is happy and if you can just change BIOS setting depending on which OS you would like to boot into.

I would like to give a thank you out to John for the inspiration.

Prerequisites

In all likelihood, you are probably using either two PCI graphics cards or one AGP card and one PCI card. Either way, it is quite quick and easy to make a new xorg.conf or XF86Config for your new cards.

First, of course, make sure you are using a recent version of X for best results. I’m using X.org 6.7.0, and I’ve also had this working with XFree86 4.3.x. XFree86 4.2.x should also work, but I wouldn’t recommend anything older than that.

Now backup your existing X configuration – things could go wrong, or you might need it for reference later.

Disable X from starting at boot (rc-update del xdm default), shut down your computer, insert both graphics cards, and boot the computer back up again. The screen that your bios information shows up on is your “primary” monitor. If this is the wrong one, and you are using an AGP and a PCI graphics card, there should be an option in your BIOS that lets you choose which one to use.

• In AWARD BIOS (v4.51PG), menu: Integrated Peripherals -> Init Display First -> [PCI Slot / AGP]
• In AMIBIOS (v 08.00.08), menu: PCIPnP -> PCI Bus Scan Order -> [Ascent/Descent]
• In other BIOSs it’s called: Bios First Boot -> [AGP/PCI]

Configuring X

In most cases, it is simplest to let X do as much auto-configuring as possible.
It can usually detect your graphics cards, at least.

As root run,

X -configure

This will make your screen blink a few times, before returning with a message saying that it has created a test X configuration file at /root/XF86Config.new or /root/xorg.conf.new and giving the command line to test the X server using this config file.

With a bit of good luck, this should be a working X configuration.
You may have to edit the mouse, monitor, or resolution settings. This is done in the same way as with a single-monitor setup, but there will be two “Monitor” sections, two “Device” sections, and two “Screen” sections.
The “Screen” sections connect a monitor to a graphics card.

It is probably a good idea to change the Identifiers of the device and monitor sections so you can tell them apart, e.g.

...
Section "Monitor"
  Identifier   "NECMonitor"
...
Section "Monitor"
  Identifier   "VSMonitor"
...
Section "Device"
  Identifier  "NvidiaCard"
  Driver      "nvidia"
...
Section "Device"
  Identifier  "AtiCard"
  Driver      "ati"
...
Section "Screen"
  Identifier   "LeftScreen"
  Device       "NvidiaCard"
  Monitor      "NecMonitor"
  DefaultDepth 24
...
Section "Screen"
  Identifier   "RightScreen"
  Device       "AtiCard"
  Monitor      "VSMonitor"
  DefaultDepth 24

At the top of the file, there is a section called “ServerLayout”.
This section specifies the layout of your monitors.
In my configuration, I have two monitors beside each-other–”RightScreen” is to the right of “LeftScreen”.

The layout can be specified using keywords or absolute pixel positions (useful for odd layouts, or even overlapping layouts!?)
E.g.

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier     "XFree86 Configured"
  Screen      0  "LeftScreen" 0 0
  Screen      1  "RightScreen" RightOf "LeftScreen"

“LeftScreen” is located at position 0,0.
I then have “RightScreen” to the right of it.

The useable keywords are “RightOf <identifier>”, “LeftOf <identifier>”, “Above <identifier>”, and “Below <identifier>”.
A special keyword is “Relative” – it is used to specify the position in pixels of a screen in relation to another screen.
E.G.

  Screen      0  "LeftScreen" 0 0
  Screen      1  "RightScreen" Relative "LeftScreen" 1024 40

In most cases, the LeftOf and RightOf keywords are what you want.

So, try starting the xserver using your test configuration file again.
Verify that the mouse can move from screen-to-screen in a relatively intuitive manner, and that your resolution and refresh rate is right.
You can then copy your configuration file overtop of your old /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Editing /boot/grub/menu.lst to change the GRUB boot menu

Here’s a helpful reference. And here’s what I did:

The GRUB boot menu configuration is in the file
/boot/grub/menu.ls

1. backup menu.ls:
sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst-backup

2. edit menu.ls:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

3. Move the paragraph with the WinXP options up the list.

4. Change default to 1 (was 0)
default 1

5. comment out the lines about “Other operating systems“

So now I have the following options when booting:

• Microsoft Windows XP Professional
• Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic
• Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic (recovery mode)
• Ubuntu, memtest86+

…and the second option is automatically selected and boots-up after 10 seconds if I don’t do anything.

Here is the contents of the resulting file (showing only the uncommented lines)

default 1

Many of you have asked how to run IE6 and IE7 in a side by side environment. As Chris Wilson blogged about early this year, it’s unfortunately not so easy to do. There are workarounds, but they are unsupported and don’t necessarily work the same way as IE6 or IE7 would work when installed properly. As Chris said, the best way to use multiple versions of IE on one machine is via virtualization. Microsoft has recently made Virtual PC 2007 a free download; we’ve taken advantage of that by releasing a VPC virtual machine image containing a pre-activated Windows XP SP2, IE6 and the IE7 Readiness Toolkit to help facilitate your testing and development. The image is time bombed and will no longer function after Early September, 2008. We hope to continue to provide these images in the future as a service to web developers.

Now you can install IE7 on your main machine for development, and get all the advantages of IE7, like the RSS platform, native XMLHTTP stack, and improved security, while still running IE6 simultaneously in the VPC on the same computer. Most importantly, you don’t even have to buy an additional Windows license. The VPC image runs in a virtual machine that offers all of the functionality of a full IE6 installation without giving it any access to its host machine’s hard drive, registry, etc. You can make as many modifications as you want to the virtual machine without affecting your host installation at all.

This download page contains four separate VPC images, depending on what you want to test.

• IE6-XPSP2_VPC.exe contains a Windows XP SP2 with IE6 VHD file
• IE7-XPSP2_VPC.exe contains a Windows XP SP2 with IE7 VHD file
• IE8B1-XPSP2_VPC.exe contains a Windows XP SP2 with IE8 Beta 1 VHD file
• IE7-VIS1.exe+IE7-VIS2.rar+IE7-VIS3.rar contain a Vista Image with IE7 VHD file.
