Fournier" Cc: "Jonathan M. Bresler" , Barry Masterson , "freebsd.questions" Subject: Re: XFree86; Where to from here? In-Reply-To: Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I had a similar problem with netscape-2b1 when displaying on an NCD x-terminal from a 2.0.5-R system. In my case there were things in the font path that made netscape unhappy. Things worked fine with my xfree86 machine at home, so if that's what you're running it may not necessarily be font related. -Chris On Tue, 19 Dec 1995, Marc G.
