Hello, I am using a MDK 9.0 system that I have been updating with
cooker RPMs since I installed 9.0. I use the i586 rpms, and the
machine is an Athlon 1.4GHz.
The language I use all throughout the system is English.
Currently it has:
XFree86-4.3-0.20030210.1mdk (and related XFree packages)
mozilla-1.3-0.beta.1mdk
OpenOffice.org-1.0.2-2mdk
freetype-tools-1.3.1-17mdk
freetype2-2.1.3-6mdk
freetype-1.3.1-17mdk
freetype2-devel-2.1.3-6mdk
and I am using Version 1.0-4191 (latest) of the Nvidia drivers for my
Nvidia card.
And now for the couple of problems I see:
** Mozilla: It crashes when I enter in www.boston.com
This did not happen with the previous version (1.3-alpha)
** OpenOffice: This is a bit weirder. If a font is relatively
small as displayed on screen, the font is displayed as a bunch of
pixels, stretched to the right. It is unreadable.
If I zoom in a little bit until the text is displayed a little bigger,
then I can see the text fine. It is a problem with displaying small
fonts.
With a quick test I found out that the font "Zapf Chancery"
does not show this problem. When all other fonts are garbled, this one
stays fine.
All the other fonts are TTF fonts that I installed on my system prior
to upgrading XFree to XFree86-4.3-0.20030210. All fonts were
displayed properly in OpenOffice (at all sizes) up to XFree86-4.2.99.5
or so.
I started seeing this problem when I upgraded to a new XFree86
and possibly OpenOffice 1.0.2
But I suspect it may have to do with the new, not-yet-final
XFree86 in combination with the Nvidia card. Nvidia does not have new
drivers since December 2002, so I am guessing that those drivers were
intended for XFree 4.2.x ...
But I thought I would report these two problems to the list. And if
someone knows a solution to either problem... I'd like to know, too.
Thanks,
