first i'd like to thank yall for your input about my samba/nfs over the internet question.
but now i have a problem... today i woke up, went to school, and came home all happy that it was friday and i could work on my extracirricular project at my leisure. so i start up KDE. hmm, my fonts are all messed up and changing the font and font sizes in the "fonts" section in the control center does nothing. first off, why would this problem arise out of seemingly nowhere? my fonts were fine last night, why are they messed up when i logged in today? before you answer, continue reading...it gets better. so rather than bother yall with 5 days of posting to this list, i decided to reinstall redhat 7.2 from scratch (reformatting the harddrive). so i do and log on as root for the first time. then i type startx. low and behold the same font problem. how is this possible? this is blowing my mind. i have reinstalled 7.2 three times since, each time reformatting my harddrive. each time i start kde for the first time i get the same font problem. this defies everything my professors have taught me about computer science and computers working in a logical predictable manner (concurrent programming excluded...=P). i've done clean installs of redhat 7.2 about a total of 10 times on this machine. why am i having font problems now? why didn't i have font problems the first 6 times i installed 7.2 on this machine? why doesn't kde respond to me changing fonts or font sizes now? it just blows my mind that i could format my harddrive, start over from scratch and do a clean install, and still have the same font problem as before. it just doesn't make sense. the first six times i installed redhat 7.2, i never had this font problem. why now? i'm writing this email from my 2nd machine (cuz i can't see any fonts on the other machine). thank you for the help, christopher _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
