The problem with 3.3.5 was something to do with refreshing, example
after doing some ls -la in xterm the xterm screen got blank completely
or showed some lines of text in the bottom but otherwise remained black.
That's what I remember for sure, something similar was also with
Netsape, etc. The building method didn't matter, was it from ports or
not it behaved same.
I'm running 3.3.6 with xfsft-1.1.7 patches, works well for my everyday
needs. You don't need prerelease to get TrueType support, thought it's
usually simpler to build prerelease than patch 3.3.x line..
I can say that I tried building the 3.9.17 with both official compiler
in -current and also with gcc-devel, both built fine but didn't install.
Seems like my fault, nothing else. Time to try again.
