IMHO, I would go back and install all the fonts available in your LOCALE (eg. language). You also might want to reinstall x.org at tthe same time. While I don't think it is a driver issue you might check your driver and display settings (system/administration/display). I reinstalled Fedora 9 (not upgrade - complete new install). Behavior problems have cleared now I need to restore any files that were removed as part of the install. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list(a)redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
