Jon Yes it does matter who builds your RPMS. RPMS can be built well, and they can be built badly. Texstar builds good RPMs. He builds them against a standard 9.0 distribution. No cooker packages, and no third party packages. So you can be fairly confident they will work. HOWEVER, sometimes his RPMs do depend on other RPMs of his own, and that is what you have just experienced. He has built k3b with libxft2 as a dependency. What you have done is found a RedHat version of libxft2 which is NOT built against a Mandrake 9.0 distro. So you may have introduced font problems by doing so. What I recommend you do is remove RedHats libxft2 and replace it with Texstars. Tex's libxft2 is part of a series of packages Tex has built to dramatically improve the fonts in Mandrake 9.0. Others packages affected are fontconfig , freetype2, and libqt3. (as described here: http://www.jennings.homelinux.net/Xft-2.html ) I suggest you add Texstar as a urpmi source and then everything gets sorted out automatically. In a root terminal (all on one line) urpmi.addmedia texstar ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/rpms with ./hdlist.cz Mandrake Software Manager will then find Texstar packages as well as Mandrake ones. Update the source now and again with the command urpmi.update -a derek
