Might download it. But first maybe I should explain that I am not looking for the latest greatest whizbang gui. I run neither kde nor gnome. I'm using wmaker. I just want to be able easily to read menus, title bars, screen output. Until this release I have never had trouble doing so. Anyone know how I can get back to some simple readable fonts (don't need TrueType, etc). Anyone know if installing xfonts-pex will help (that will have to a download to floppy and carry home). Secondary question. In more than one place I have read that in v4 of X, font serving is integrated, so a font server is not necessary unless one wishes to make fonts available off thte workstation. Anyone know why x-window-system seems to depend on xfs, in that case ? I tried to uninstall xfs in my attempts to solve my font pb.
