All changes using Preferences had no effect. 4) oops! the vtty has a lot of messages. So, startx >&xlog.001 and lets see. 5) Nice message about this December 29 1998 XFree86 should be updated if 6 months or more old. And, all the font directories have a warning. Warning: 'fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in */usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/*. Entry deleted from font path. (Run 'mkfontdir' on */usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/*. repeat same message for, Type1 Speedo 100dpi (again) the next line sets the font path to misc and unscaled 75dpi (**) FontPath set to */usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/: unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/* I WRAPPED the above line, it is really all on one line. 6) So I did what the warning said and the really small text is fixed. Some of netscape's scaling is a little wierd but what the ... I am not sure this is an install error made by sysinstall or by X11 when it configs. What I do know is I didn't make any changes or edit any config files. If this is a bug, ok, if not, any ideas? Last: I will update X86. -d [sig went to the car race.] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
