Break out your original CD/DVD and install from there. Do it in text mode and uninstal xfree, then re-install from cd. You can also find it on the cds and manually install rpm --upgrade --oldpackage xfree....... better check the man page on that, Its been a while. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

I had tried most of the available suggestions to fix fonts. Ended up backing up data and re-installing. Wound up cleaning up some other minor problems at the same time, so not a complete waste of effort. thanks to those who responded. BR Jim -- Jim Hamilton Perth, Western Australia
