RE: Broken X fonts
Good call on that one. That is where I got the switch information myself.

Broken X fonts
I recently did a portupgrade on freebsd 5.2.1 which included XFree86. I am now at 4.3.0,1 and it starts fine. The problem I am experiencing is with the X fonts. Beginning with GDM there are missing fonts for things such as desktop and menu icons as well as entry into text boxes. This includes text entered and displayed with GDM. The menus are there lacking text. This has happened twice now. The first time I used portupgrade -arR. I can't remember the upgrades I used the second time, but it was similar.
