The problem with 3.3.5 was something to do with refreshing, example after doing some ls -la in xterm the xterm screen got blank completely or showed some lines of text in the bottom but otherwise remained black. That's what I remember for sure, something similar was also with Netsape, etc. The building method didn't matter, was it from ports or not it behaved same. I'm running 3.3.6 with xfsft-1.1.7 patches, works well for my everyday needs. You don't need prerelease to get TrueType support, thought it's usually simpler to build prerelease than patch 3.3.x line.. I can say that I tried building the 3.9.17 with both official compiler in -current and also with gcc-devel, both built fine but didn't install. Seems like my fault, nothing else. Time to try again. -- Vallo Kallaste vallo@matti.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
