Is the password on your Palm set? If so, are the records you're trying to sync flagged as private? Just above the Sync button on JPilot there is a button with a padlock icon, press that and enter your Palm's password to view any private records. Don Grayson the

Hum, it looks like it synced properly, assuming the size of the pdb files are non-zero. Jpilot actually reads those file for data. Data added/modified/deleted between syncs are stored in the pc3 files. Now I am leaning more towards a GTK font problem. Did you compile Jpilot with GTK 1 or 2?
