Re: [Re: XMMS aborts badly... what happens?]
Dear Paul:
Thanks for your help...
a) i dont have any remote system... i use a stand-alone desktop linux with
100dpi fonts installed (if i remember ok).
b) i have solved the problem changing the playlist font to "fixed". maybe it
will be better to put the package xmms under that configuration by default.
thanks you

Free science and free software are just two aspects of the same complex
reality: long-term human survival.
Support humankind, use Linux.
