Hi list readers...

I'm trying to run Xfstt 1.0 on my FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE box...

I compiled it from the ports, and it installed and run perfectly,
except, when I try to use it =(
For example, I use Netscape Navigator 4.7 (from the 1st CD) to use
Arial fonts that come with Windows 98. Netscape always hung, and when I
run top, I see 1 zombie process, which is Xfstt =(
It doesn't happen only on Netscape, it seems to be happening to all apps
which I instruct to render TrueType fonts using Xfstt as the engine...

I can be positive that this is not and installation and usage problem,
cause I've been using it with my Red Hat Linux 6.0 without any problem.

Is there a compatibility problem between Xfstt and FreeBSD?
How can I fix this?
Is there another way I can use TrueType fonts without Xfstt?
Is this related to SysV primitive memory stuffs?
I have these on my kernel config:
options         SYSVSHM
options         SYSVMSG
options         SYSVSEM
options         "SHMMAXPGS=8192"

My RAM is 48 megs...

Oh yeah... XMMS seems to have a problem with FreeBSD too...
Here's a snapshot from my /var/log/messages:
Jan 15 12:32:41 mona /kernel: cmd xmms pid 11121 tried to use
non-present sched_ getscheduler

And weirdly, whenever I run XMMS, Enlightenment seems to have problem
with it's translucent move behaviour. Translucent move is not working
while I run XMMS...

I really love FreeBSD and want to use it as my desktop OS, how can I
solve this problem, and can anyone tell me how this problem arrive?

Thanks a bunch...
