Apparantly this did not run during installation of Xft and/or fontconfig. Should it? Mozilla has looked awful here ever since going past 1.1.-something, i.e. with addition of Xft. Disabling Xft in the (newer) Mozilla build/install hasn't help much. Perhaps another data-point (and/or probably subject of separate email), gtk2 programs, specifically mozilla-devel-gtk2 and xchat2 have tiny serif fonts on the menu bar & elsewhere which are practically impossible to read. I've checked everything I can think of (i.e. The Handbook), to no avail. Additionally, mozilla-devel-gtk2 produces the following message on startup: $ mozilla No running window found. LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i 386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so [/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjav aplugin_oji.so: Undefined symbol "gdk_input_add"] $ The "No running window found" message is probably ok (?) I have FreeBSD native Java 1.3.1p8 & the non-gtk2 Mozilla doesn't exhibit this behavior. Maybe this is a Feature(tm)? :-p Documentation (and/or more appropriate mailing-list to ask) pointers welcome.
