When I left click the mouse to see the menu, everything seems = to be in bar codes. I'm sure the fonts are messed up but am not sure how = to fix it. I tried to reinstall the fonts using "/stand/sysinstall" and followed the = options given. but it seems that the installation program keeps looping = instead of reallly doing anything. I do not know when I should exit the = program and how I can check to make sure the proper font display has been = set up. this is my first time trying to set up a UNIX system. so lots of stupid = questions. I hope you will understand. thank you for your time and attention! sincerely, Tan --=_762E58D9.7A1BD325 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" http-equiv=3DContent-Type= > <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff=20 style=3D"FONT: 10pt Arial; MARGIN-LEFT: 2px; MARGIN-TOP: 2px"> <DIV>dear Sir/Madam:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>hello!
