Greets all;
I just ran a make xconfig on that fresh install of test3 on my shop
box as I wanted to turn on a full fledged ISA bus scan since there
are two custom made 8 bit ISA cards containing a few relays and
apparently a whole 8 bit wide input port per card, and while I have
what appears to be normal fonts elsewhere, all I get on the xconfig
screen are gfx chars, little boxes of various shapes and half,
quarter, and full moons in a character sized box.
That box isn't on a network allthough it may be eventually when I can
figure out howto get some cat5 run to the shop building. I hate
digging ditches, been there, done that once already for power out
there.
Running gnome of course since there is apparently no terminals
available if I switchdesk to kde. And it sure don't look like the
kde I'm looking at here!
How can I fix these fubared characters?

Use qconfig. It's not broken. If you must use xconfig, an anonymous poster in a 2.6.5
kernel forum recommended running qtconfig. Deselect (turn off) the option labeled
"Enable Anti-Aliased Font Support (XFT)". It worked for me.
