Did that, no change. What did make it usable was checking the use trutype
fonts box. That made the font about 4x bigger so I was able to set that
back to middle sized.
So I ran a sudo aptitude, had it update, showed 2 packages for security,
and 65 broken packages. But I couldn't figure out how to get a list of
broken packages. So I quit it, and used synaptic to install the 2
security updates. And synaptic shows zero broken packages vs aptitude
saying 65? I'm afraid to give it a blank check by hiting the g key
because it wants to rip out as many as 350 proggy's I do use
occasionally.
