  Bodo,

Thanks for answering our messages regarding "trashed fonts".  Your remedy,
run "runx" instead of "startx" rectifies the trashed fonts and for this, I am
great-
ful and thank you.
I'm sure that you are waiting for the other shoe to drop, or a "but" and here
it is:
What I would really like to have is a solution to the problem rather than a
"Band
Aid" repair, or at least a better understanding of  how the trashed font
problem
comes about.
Again I am greatful for the advice, just trying to understand the dynamics
(ie mechanism).

Sincerely

TomK
