Second Try: unsent from mailer message, never made it -d
------------------- begin org msg --
1) I installed X86 and KDE using the graphical interface.
2) The Walnut Creek CD is the source for install. 3.2 June 1999
2) Problem: In some areas of communicator 4.51 & 4.61 interface the
text is about 1/10 (or smaller) of an inch (couple of MM?). 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.
