Hi Jim, It isn't a FreeBSD problem. It is probably a XFree86 problem and Netscape. You should get used to the fact that x-windows is an application. Problems with x-windows is an XFree86.org problem. The fact that you can get help on questions@freebsd.org doesn't change that fact :). I was having problems with x-windows and fonts. I finally captured "startx >& startx.txt" and it told me I needed to make some fonts. It told me where to cd to and what to type then. I have always added the complete set of fonts from the XFree86 3.3.6 distrubtion. I have restarted x several times and can't help you unless the capture works for you.
