I previously wrote to this list and reported that I experienced strange 
video problems after installing FreeBSD v4.0.  I have done some more 
research, and I *think* the problem is not with the video.

Rather, I think that the fonts are not properly installed.  I received an 
error message telling me to run makefontdir, and that the fonts were not 
properly installed/configured.

The directory it was referring to  (.../fonts) is completely empty.  When I 
installed I chose the All option which selected everything.

Does anyone know of problems with the installer that would prevent fonts 
from being properly installed?  Any ideas how to reinstall the fonts?

This does kind of make sense because the text is what is messed up in the 
display.  Perhaps this is because it can't find the fonts its looking for.  
Although, I'm rather surprised it doesn't just substitute another font 
instead, though... :-(
