Just using the "out of the box" theme for 9.1 (Keramik, I think).. Another thing that may be related, I'm using the Yahoo Messenger protocol and am also having font problems with ymessenger under 9.1. In fact, that is why I changed to gaim in the first place, the fonts in ymessenger are extremely tiny - totally unreadable and no change can be made to them either. SuSE 8.2 treats Ymessenger the same as Mandrake 9.0 did, it works as advertised. Haven't tried latest gaim on SuSE yet, might be interesting <G>.... Strangely enough, ymessenger worked just fine in the first couple of 9.1 betas, XFree 4.2.99, but went totally bonkers after the change to 4.3.x.. There has to be some place that controls the font rendering in these two applications aside from all the rest. The rest of the system is perfectly OK. No font issues at all with any other app's just these two... -- Ken Thompson - WA7SYR
