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... :-( ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
