I converted to xf86 4.3.0 (freebsd 4.8-RC) and when I try to start xclock like I've always been able to (for the last 10+ yrs):
xclock -bg black -fg red -hd blue -hl white I get this error: cannot convert string "" to type XftFont (xclock) the background does get set to black but no foreground colors seem to work, so the clock shows up as invisible on a black background desktop. I upgraded all my ports via portupgrade (standard freebsd stuff). as far as I can tell, xf86 4.3.0 installed and built ok from the ports area. not sure why xclock CARES about fonts (xft). and why that affects colors. ?? ===== (please ignore any YAHOO trailers in this email.) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
