Hi, I'm in X and stuff, but I just see little boxes for words and letters. Its amazing how far I've goten just based on memory. Um...
Does anyone know how to fix this? I'll have to boot to windows to check replies. Please hellp.

I just installed xfree86 4.1, it really did help with the graphics, just my fonts are screwd up.

Thanx

Am I understanding you correctly: you're in Netscape Navigator?
If yes, try View-Character Set from the menu and change it. :confused:

Are you using the wrong codepage or is the default font set to something like symbol?

Well I just installed xf86 4.1, I didn't get a chance to change anything, so I'm thinking it was set to the default font, whatever it was. But, I'm running Redhat 7.1, that may be the problem. I try to run Xconfigurator, and it farts out on me. Probably cuz it didn't expect the new version.

Well I'll check out that link and keep you posted.

Thanx
