Re: font troubles in sid
James,
I had fonts which actually were looking like bar codes... I got the
following advice and it worked:
Add in the section Device of the /etc/X11/XF86Config file, the following:
Option
"NoAccel" It seems to be related to the xserver not properly managing the
accelerated fonts
You may want to give it a try

Subject: font troubles in sid
Hi,
A while ago, after doing an upgrade, I noticed that fonts in galeon
where displaying as rectangles. I managed to fix this through trial and
error in the galeon preferences, and life went on, though I did notice that
the same rectangles were being used to display the xmms playlist. I decided
to
ignore this as it wasn't seriously affecting my daily work.
However, I just fired up the gimp, and noticed the same font problem with
all the menus and dialog boxes, rendering the gimp pretty much unusable.
Googling around, I found the "TrueType Fonts in Debian mini-HOWTO" and
followed
the instructions there to set my XF86Config to use xfs. (adding "unix/:7100"
to
the FontPath and restarting xfs). Still no menus in gimp.
I'm running sid, and a modified XF86_Mach64 server that I've been lugging
around with me due to a bug in the default server that draws a line down the
middle of screen on my Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop, (if any of that is
relevant,
I don't know).
Any help or pointers to more docs would be greatly appreciated,
James
