Re: Letters displaying as aquares.
See the threads on this list about GTK fonts being
broken. My problem was that I did an upgrade and got
XFree 4.x fonts while still using XFree 3.x server.
Make sure all parts of X got upgraded and check your
the order of the fonts in your XF86Config. I did a lot
of playing around with them. But now, that I've got a
"pure" Xfree 4.1.0-7 system all the fonts are very
nice.
