Looking forward to doing that and reporting. Say what one will about MS (and oh yes, a lot can be said), the fonts are not an issue.

Okay . . . I fired up kmix immediately from an xterm: ERROR: kmix: Mixer cannot be found. Please check that the soundcard is installed and that the soundcard driver is loaded. Four times it said that, faster than you can bat an eye. ^_^ Then it produced the mixer, so it must have finally found it, or it was just pulling my leg to see how I'd react. ^_^ Things seem not muted according to the mixer, but still no sound. Jean-Luc Ponty and Stephane Grappelli refuse to perform. ^_^ This is a letdown of major proportion. I am opening a bottle of Chablis to properly mourn. Lance
