You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org franz. > www.fontconfig.org > www.keithp.com > http://xfree86.org/~keithp/talks/ > > Cheers, > Mezz -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
