[-- Attachment #1 --] dear Sir/Madam: hello! I'm a new user of FreeBSD. I have downloaded most of the components (including X-windows) using FTP. right now, the problem seems to be that: when I log in as a normal user, the desktop has no words whatsoever. 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 [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2919.6307" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff style="FONT: 10pt Arial; MARGIN-LEFT: 2px; MARGIN-TOP: 2px"> <DIV>dear Sir/Madam:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>hello!
