Ok xfs 3.3.6 Dose not make drakfont crash, it caused the program to display "font
not availible" it was gimp that was crashing if you selected the fonts that were
installed pretty much any ttf that didn't come with mandrake. but there are NO
problems if i just put the /usr/lib/X11R6/lib/fonts/drakfont in the XF86Config
"FonrPath".
XFree86-server-4.0-6mdk
XFree86-xfs-3.3.6-14mdk
drakfont-0.40-8mdk
I will attach a font that I use for an example that will cause the above problems.
now if you install XFree86-xfs-4.0-6mdk and XFree86-libs-4.0-6mdk from contribs,
the same fonts will cause drakfont to crash instead of displaying the font not
available error msg in drakfont.
so I do not think it is drakfont at all, i beleave it is xfs, not being able to
handle alot of ttf fonts!
