Hi.

The recent ports upgrade to XFree 4.3.0 has created a gnome font problem
for me on two machines (laptop & desktop). I am running FreeBSD 5.0
current (updated two days ago) and current ports (updated yesterday with
portupgrade -ra).

The problem is that gnome terminal now displays no output whatsoever
using the default fonts (and an irregularly shaped window), and the
applications->desktop preferences->font has no fonts appearing in the
font rendering windows. Things were working perfectly prior to the port
upgrade. Other fonts can be used in the terminal, but not the monspace
font which is the default.

Also, in gnumeric-gnome the column headers appear as boxes (no font).

Here is a link to a screenshot if this helps, along with some system
information (uname -a, pkg_version, XF86Config)

Any/all hints are gratefully received, and thanks in advance for your
time!
