The solution is simple: cp -pr /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /tmp pkg_delete XFree86-4.0.3 cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 && make install clean cp -pr /tmp/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 You will get errors about missing files if you try to uninstall XFree86-4.1.0, but everything still works. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@usrlib.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
