It's the fonts, probably. You've probably (unknowingly) installed unicode fonts (fonts with encoding iso10646-1). If some innocent application asks for a font without specifying the encoding, then previously it would have got iso8859-1 (or something similar), but now it'll get iso10646-1, and be confused. <http://bugs.debian.org/113278>. -- Bruce Stephens [EMAIL PROTECTED] ACI Worldwide/MessagingDirect <URL:http://www.MessagingDirect.com/>
