I helped a friend install Debian today. My friend is new to Linux so I decided to install KDE and GNOME, plus a few window managers, and showed him how to use KDM to switch between them.
To make a long story short, GNOME does not function properly. I'm a KDE user myself, and haven't tried GNOME in over a year before today, and thus do not know how to set it up properly. He's running Woody, XFree86 4, and 2.4.18 kernel. The problem? GNOME starts just fine, but anywhere there is supposed to be a text, it shows funny boxes. KDE and WindowMaker work fine. I have both 75dpi and 100dpi fonts installed, as well as the msttfcorefonts package. I can't mess with the configuration dialog, because I get no text there as well. The text for the window title-bars works (using Sawfish). GNOME apps, such as the GIMP, also exhibit this behavior when running under non-GNOME environments. What did I do wrong? Did I leave out a package? --Aaron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
