It might be a fontconfig problem. Take a look in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf for a line like <dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts</dir> This will automatically include subdirectories - but you might find its not there or it already includes some subdirectories but not others (hence loosing you Helvetica font). Change it to the above and then run fc-cache -f as root. - -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+ioLmuFHxcV2FFoIRAgqzAJ0aqZXZli9zl9tPMO+qj3aitEvG3wCeIfRk 7g34FqKh1PU2p5Hpko+BLAM= =N0Ne -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
