Re: WP2000 and FontTastic [IGNORE PREVIOUS]
Is it possible to retract a message? It turns out that "happy" solution
doesn't work any more and I think it seriously broke my X Window system,
to the point that I had to reinstall. Now, none of that may be
reproducible, so YMMV. And there may actually be no connection between
one thing and another.
I guess I'm back to googling to figure out how to get WP2000 working with
XFree86 4.0.
