This may seem totally irrelevant to this list, but I hope I can persuade you that this isn't the case. I am trying to install Oracle 9.2 on a Linux/390. The Oracle installer has for some time been some Java contraption that insists on running on X, and this often causes me problems. In this case the installer starts up, displays a dialog box with some text etc; the problem here is that the text is invisible. In other dialogs the text shows, but in a font that is totally crooked - eg. all upper case letters hang below the line (unless it is the lower case letters that fly above it). I can select the invisible text in some of the input fields and copy it to eg. an xterm, so I know the text is there. So why would the text be invisible? In my mind it must be either that the font doesn't contain glyphs for those characters, or the foreground colour is set to the same as the background. Of course Oracle are not inclined to help - I use the wrong version of SuSE, which I believe is clearly rubbish, but good enough as an excuse, I suppose. So I think what I have to do is find out which X resources the installer uses, especially which fonts and colours - is there a command for that, similar to xset? /jan _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
