Why you send message as attachment? Anyway, I don't use KDE but if the same problem occurred in Gnome, you could blow away .gnome* and reconfigure the desktop. KDE probably had a similar directory were it stores desktop config files. KDE also has some type of font select program to pick which font you want to use on the desktop, try that first. jay -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
