Hi,
I managed to get rid of the evolution font boxes, by specifying courier
10 pitch in the gnome font dialog, instead of courier new, for
fixed-width fonts.
However, courier 10-pitch looks a bit ugly... What's wrong with courier
new, and why does it show boxes for spaces?
the firefox font box problem is still there too:

I am assuming it _is_ important, because firefox shows ugly squares
everywhere in between words.

no, nothing.

Font Path:
/usr/share/fonts/misc,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/TTF,/usr/share/fonts/Type1,/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.03/jre/lib/fonts/
I tried installing font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi and
font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi, I tried playing around with font
settings in firefox and gnome, and I still get these ugly boxes when
viewing java applets in firefox...
any more suggestions?
thanks a lot for the help - this is really annoying. I'm starting to
see it on other machines too - not just my laptop...
