Yes, what I'm about to describe is a self-inflicted injury (selective updating from development)... Thought someone might find it amusing or, interesting, or worth looking into... So... Because I have requirements for some of the newer features of Evolution (in-line pgp being the major one) I've been updating Evolution and some dependent parts from development, using yum, to get the 2.3.x (was 2.3.6 then 2.3.7 and now 2.3.7-3) tree. It's got its pluses and its minuses and I'm still sorting one out from the other but it fills a need. Couple days ago, I couldn't update because of the libcairo and libpixman stuff... SOP... I know the drill. Wait for a couple of days for the dependencies to settle. Today, I'm able to update Evolution and get a bunch of gnome related updates in the mix... Ok... Cool. So... Now... I restart Firefox. NO CHARACTERS! Almost blank (text free) pages. Images are fine but it's like there is no character set and/or all the typed letters are blank. Sigh... Didn't expect that! Ok... So... What the heck... Updated to Firefox from development. Seemed to go ok and yum insisted on updating nspr (and only nspr) in the processes. Ok... Try it again. Now Firefox won't even load. It gets an error in a gtk library somewhere about a font map symbol not existing Curiously enough... Mozilla looks just fine. Sigh... Removed Firefox and reloaded from FedoraCore Updates Released. Back to text free pages. :-( Of course, it's also a catch-22 that I can't see any dialog boxes to even try to change the fonts. Everything seems to be cool on fonts, it's just Firefox... Very strange... So I'm back on Mozilla until I can figure out where fonts disappeared to in Firefox. Any thoughts? Mike -- Michael H.
