I had some font problems a few months ago when I regenerated my XF86Config-4 file, which set up the fonts section to use a font server. I removed the font server line (FontPath "unix/:7100") and haven't seen a problem since. I'm curious, does that help, or have I just been lucky in avoiding font problems? -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bignachos.com
