[Fink-beginners] Font problems

[Marc Stergionis]

Title: Font problems

Looks like I have font-created problems with some wm's and kde and gnome.

The crashes produce:

Command:    metacity
PID:        24378

Exception:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes:      KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000

I have updated kde with this week's source updates and did self-update cvs and update all this morning.

I did not install xfree separately, but simply went from the initial fink install to an "install bundle-kde."

What should I be looking for/doing to get past the font crashes?
