My browser, Konqueror based on KDE 3.1.2, does not render text that is enclosed in

tags; instead, it presents a series of small boxes. Copying the "boxes" to the clipboard and pasting them to an xterm reveals the letters they are replacing. This only happens with

-tagged text. I've not changed any of my font settings in Konqueror. This problem persisted across a quick upgrade from KDE 3.1.1a to 3.1.2, but did not appear until two days ago, when I likely upgraded one of the X-related packages (flurry of upgrades preceeded). Here are my X packages: XFree86-FontServer-4.3.0_1 XFree86-Server-4.3.0_8 XFree86-clients-4.3.0_2 XFree86-documents-4.3.0 XFree86-font100dpi-4.3.0 XFree86-font75dpi-4.3.0 XFree86-fontCyrillic-4.3.0 XFree86-fontDefaultBitmaps-4.3.0 XFree86-fontEncodings-4.3.0 XFree86-fontScalable-4.3.0 XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5 Xft-2.1.2 I hope that someone has some insight into this very bizarre, subtle problem. Thank you, and have a good day. -Joe
