Thanks for your kind response. Yes, I installed with a fresh cvs tree and portupgrade, so it is a stock install. The problem appears to be something with fonts and gnome, but it appears to be a bug though perhaps not in gnome. If I run straight X with twm, graphics are fine. However, under gnome 2.10 I get this report on two different systems (one with 5.4 stable, one with 6.0 current) It is most odd as gnome 2.10 runs everything without a hitch... by chance do you have access to a gnome setup to try things? -- Jeff -- Professor J.
