X can cause that sort of thing, but so can bad > ram. Have you tried running a memory test program? No I haven't done any memory checks, but I certainly can and will. I doubt it's the RAM. I did upgrade the RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB, but that was back in December or January, and these problems have been happening only for the past 3-4 weeks. Of course, the RAM could have developed a failure, so I can't completely rule it out. Still, I don't see how RAM could cause funny appearance of fonts. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
