recently, i have been experiencing trouble with fonts on my 3.3.6 X server running on 2.4.5/woody. certain programs, like "plan", "dia", display text as dotted rectangles, and not even one per letter. i took the liberty to attach a file to this mail, a gif stripped down as much as possible, please excuse the 2kb -- it makes explaining this a whole lot easier.
what you see written in the cloud of the attached image is the word "internet" -- eight letters condensed to four -- and not legible. in opera, i get this effect every now and then on what seems to be special characters. any clue what might be causing this? or more importantly, how to fix it? thanks, -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" [EMAIL PROTECTED] "in the stage of grand illusion you walked into my life out of my dreams." -- david bowie
