Yes. They lock my xterm from XQuartz.app, and those were the only fancy ``s in that file; all the rest were normal "s. Given those facts, and that I was working with this file a lot for a day, I went ahead and checked in the change hoping that it would be useful to others. Pretty much any non-standard character locks up my xterm. I have not tried configuring xterm to deal with this, as I'm pretty sure many other used won't have either. Hence, without some better way of displaying non-standard characters, no matter how pretty they are, it seems wisest to avoid them instead of forcing the user into a specific setting or terminal. That said, given that I'm done using the compiler_blacklist_versions PortGroup (at least for now), it doesn't matter to me if you want to move all of the basic "s (back) to fancy ``s. - MLD _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
