Yes, that would be VERY helpful if you would provide an updated version of
the 32 bit Linux Inventor rpm. As I understand, what you call the
"easy-to-install" 32bit Linux Inventor is very old and not so easy to
install these days. We have problems with fonts. I think we have to use a
combination of the rpm and compile some of it on our own.
Thanks,
Steve
