Ok that "switch" was something new to me. I do have msttcorefonts installed, but they do not show up on the menu: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/hendry/pictures/screenshot/font-issues/whereisArial.png Atm I am on fixed(misc). That font is at least readable. Any ideas to where Arial is? Regarding the lock problem, I do have xlockmore-gl and xscreensaver installed. How/Where do I edit that Lock Screen action in Gnome2?
