I installed 0.7.10 from Redhat and it fixed the font problem. However,
when I try to run the 0.7.12 updater, I get the following message:
error: failed dependencies:
libgal.so.2 is needed by abisuite-0.7.12-1
I search for libgal.so.* and I have libgal.so.1 and libgal.so.3 but not
.2! I used GnoRPM to try and find the installer for libgal but I could
not find it. Anyone know where the RPM is for libgal?
