Hey Andy, Loosing... will.. to... wrestle... with... software... :)
I'm getting issue-fatigue, so now that I've got some problems licked I'd like to take a break for a while :) I did do a little experimentation, however... Using 4.3.0, which Mandrake gave me and setup for me, I can make it so my only fontpath is "unix:/-1". When I do that, it seems to just ignore that entry, and use the .../misc/ font path by default. Oh - one quick question: If I want to use my laptop to on-the-fly switch between driving a CRT, its LCD, and both simulataneously, am likely to run into a lot of problems?
