Great. Thanks, I will do that quick as a flash. I have to admit I
forgot, while I was typing, to add in something I know very well:
epi[phasy is based very strongly on mozilla, so anything that breaks
mozilla is likely to break epiphany. I will go update the freetype2 port,
and see, I betch that fixes epiphany.
BTW, notice ever how screwed up freetype is, as a port? Not the FreeBSD
port, I'm talking abou tthey way someone structured the freetype stuff
itself, what a horrible build, the FreeBSD porter had real guts.

Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD,

New Year's Resolution: I will not sphroxify gullible people into looking up
fictitious words in the dictionary (on the wall at my old fraternity,
Signa Phi Nothing).
