I try to stay current with the ports and do upgrades a couple of times a week. For the last week or more some stuff looks weird. Ie. PDFs viewed in acroread5 look terrible pixelised (but ok i kghostview) and StarOffice hints at issues as well, though their menus look normal. I suspect it might be an issue with linuxbase... except since yesterday after an upgrade, kmail/KDE started to show "attitude". Using fontsizes of 8 or less doesn't look as nice as it use too. I've tried turning AA on and off with no effect. Bjarne -- Homepage: http://www.mekanix.dk
