frame-parameters is a function, but not interactive, so you cannot invoke it with M-x. You could paste the following line (last (frame-parameters)) into the *scratch* buffer and type C-j with the cursor at the end of the line. That will print the value into the buffer. >> And you don't have something set in ~/.Xresources, I assume? > > Neither root nor whitis has a .Xresources file. And no .Xdefaults either?

I would not trust that information, I get the same output from xfsinfo but I'm positive that xfs _is_ running here. > apt-cache search nimbus > no results > find /usr/share/fonts -iname '*nimbus*' -print > (no results) > find /usr/lib/X11/ -iname '*nimbus*' -print > (no results) > these fonts are listed in /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/fonts.* > dpkg --search n022004l.pfb > > gsfonts-x11: /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1/n022004l.pfb All right, now I see I have that package and the nimbus fonts too.

That are more than I have _installed_, dude. Didn't you say your system was fairly up to date? ;-) Regards, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
