font package nightmare

All, I suppose I should've known better, but I attempted to fully upgrade to woody last night. One of the problems I had had before the birth of 'testing' has recurred: there are four Chinese font packages xfonts-arphic-bkai00mp 2.11.3 xfonts-arphic-gkai00mp 2.11.3 xfonts-arphic-bsmi00lp 2.11.3

I downloaded and installed Netscape 6. It works normally except when a transmission is to be encrypted. Then it locks uo not only the Netscape window but all of Xwindows. I can recover only by returning to the console and executing a Ctrl C to abort Xwindows. I tried sending an email to Net
