Gnome desktop: unreadable characters
hi, I followed the blfs-book carefully and so far, everything worked. I set up Gnome and GDM but after the first reboot, all characters were gone (see attached picture).

With both X (7.5) and (some of) gnome in /usr. my ttfs are in directories under /usr/share/fonts/. ISTR they used to go into /usr/lib/X11/fonts, in fact my xorg.conf still has archaic references to non-existent directories for old-style fonts there, which means my X log reports that the FontPath ends up empty - doesn't matter for me, fontconfig handles it.

This happened to me too, but with GParted. The fix I used was:
ln -sfv $GNOME_PREFIX/lib/python2.6/site-packages/xml2po \
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
(run as root or anyone else who has access to /usr/lib)
Hope this helps.

Re: GNOME-desktop
Hello again, just thought I would add to the discussion: gnome-doc-utils solved all my problems instantaneously. And I do agree with Randy that copy paste *does* make things (ie. installing BLFS GNOME) a breeze. Most of the time, at least. What *does not* make installing things a breeze is the user package hint. It was all fine with LFS and most BLFS packages. But with GNOME and so fearfully (irritatingly?) many packages interacting with one another, and desperately wanting to write to another's directory - it's becoming a slight pain. Not that I'm not glad I've been following the hint - it's awesome IMHO. So even I happen to curse the bloody idea at times (see my new post above :-) I'm still in love with it. Period.

A word of advice, go thru the log file for *all* packages, especially for the installation portion. Yeah, I do it *now*...
