Well, font problems do have a history of making Firefox choke, so I'm not so sure your "band-aide" wasn't a proper fix. I don't recall specifically Thunderbird having issues with fonts, but it is usually installed after the problem is found with Firefox. If installed by the book (short the packaging), then there are only 13 files installed outside of the private directory (/etc/fonts) and docs. IIRC, the MCPM hint uses a different user for each package. I'd start by chowning those, 1 by 1 root:root and see if the problem magically disappears. If my memory of the MCPM hint is incorrect, then please ignore. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
