sorry, i neglected to mention that i did run ldconfig after making the changes.
but i didn''t know about checking ld.so.conf, thanks for that.
the only directory listing in there remotely to do with fonts is for
/usr/X11R6/lib. i added /usr/local/lib and got a message about
libfontconfig.so.1 not being a symbolic link, so i linked it to
libfontconfig.so.1.0.4 (and ran ldconfig ;)) -- no change!
i''m really getting frustrated -- another unfortunate effect is that all
the italic fonts on the web are bolded -- what in the world is controlling the
font rendering???
thx

Ah, but you should also run ''ldconfig'' between the library
moves. See if
that changes anything. Also, see what you have in /etc/ld.so.conf.
