Or maybe lack of. All my system text on my Gnome desktop are little boxes. I assume this means I have a font problem ;-) - either a font file has gone missing or bad, or the pointer to it is screwed up. I'm running Debian unstable (Woody?). I just did an apt-get update / apt-get upgrade - I've actually traded one X problem for another. For some reason, I wasn't able to log in using the XDM stuff - now I can log in, but I can't read anything! Any hints? Please? -- Scott Raun sraun at fireopal.org
