Greetings,
After many, MANY hours of trying to get Gaim working in Apple's X11
using Fink, I finally reached sucess last night. YAY!
I have a PowerBook. At home I use it "stand-alone". I was home last
night. This morning, I come in to work and set up my PowerBook,
hooking it up to the 15"
Well, I restarted X11 and now it works.
Any idea if I'll have to do that every time I connect/disconnect my
display? I'm not in the habit of quitting any of my apps. I just
close the lid and move on!

Greetings,
I have Gaim installed and working. But I can't make changes to its
font settings. Well, I can CHANGE them, but no matter what I select,
it has no effect. All I get it the default for everything:

OK, groovy. But I'm not sure what it's telling me!
It tells you that everything is perfect. If you still come across a
package that is not happy with your X11 installation, then that
package (or

How about the message from dpkg that the script called on?
Or run
dpkg -l "*xfree86*"
Thanks for all your time and assistance!

I'm using Apple's X11 (finally got it working!) and when I run Gaim I
get a fontconfig error:

I wrote a mail about this problem about a month ago. I only got
around to answering the message that someone replied to me with just
now. :P
To summarise, I can't install gnome-vfs2-shlibs because, quote,
'configure: error: XML::Parser perl module
distribution. It
usually solves this kind of problem.'
fink has a zillion packages named perl, so I wouldn't know
which one to install. perl should already be on my system anyway.

I have to say that it is a DELIGHT to be on this list! I've only
been "here" a week or two, and already I can say that this is the
most responsive, helpful, and compassionate support list I have seen!
And I'm on a lot of them.
I'll certainly offer constructive input as I have it!

I posed my fontconfig problem on IRC. Someone sent me their
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf file and I copied into my directory. I didn't
even HAVE a 'fonts' directory in /etc!!!
But all my Xapps still look like crap. Is there a font expert in the house?

I'm starting to get really discouraged.
Can someone point me to a web site that explains how fonts in X11
work, and specifically how Fink/Apple X11 implement and deal with
them?
I just want my apps to look the way I want!
Thanks,
