Consistency is not at its best; I've put alot of effort trying to switch g-i as to use Dejavu fonts as default rather than freefont but that's another area where we've taken the current libs to their limits. I've managed to get this working out of the box using an unofficial iso based on the latest libs, but using the official libs, debconf just dies (see [2]) Ciao, Davide [1] http://www.gtk.org/ [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/05/msg00256.html
