My guess is that it can't find the particular font that the volume desklet wants. I don't use that particular desklet, but chances are pretty good that in the config.txt for it there will be a font setting. You might want to try changing that to a font that you know you have, or else emerging the font package that has that font. *investigates* Yep, the default config.txt for the volume applet specifies the VeraBd font, with size 8. Also, when I used the commands $ slocate VeraBd (to see if I had that font installed) and $ equery -b VeraBd (to see what package it came with) (Those two commands are available via sys-apps/slocate and app-portage/gentoolkit in portage). I found that the VeraBd font comes with the media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera package. Good luck :) -nkm -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
