Oded - you were on the right track. After some more experimenting, I discovered that I could solve the problem by changing the fontset in .gtkrc from:
"-microsoft-tahoma-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-p-*-viscii1.1-1" to: "-culmus-david-medium-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-8" BTW - I got that line using xlsfonts | grep david At first, I suspected that that meant something was wrong with the microsoft fonts I have installed and gtk is falling back to some default. But then I discovered something really WIERD. The following, obviuosly non-existant font also solves the problem: "-kuku-kuku-kuku-i-kuku--0-0-0-0-p-0-kuku" What the hell is going on here? That shouldn't work, should it???? -- Shlomo Solomon http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Sent by KMail 1.7.1 (KDE 3.2.3) on LINUX Mandrake 10.1 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
