As I've said a *number* of times already (and as is mentioned in the UPDATING instructions), install the x11/xorg port to obtain a complete installation.

'portupgrade -f' on my fonts is fixing this but I'm not exactly sure why it occurred to start with. -- Peter Jeremy -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

A computer manual is not an approximation algorithm. Computer science is about three possible outcomes, 0, 1 or error. There is nothing else. Guess what you get when the input already is error?

Why do not you please move the thread to freebsd-x11/freebsd-ports Most of us are subscribed to this list because they are interested in FreeBSD-STABLE, and if we want to read discussions about problems with specific ports we will subscribe to freebsd-ports/freebsd-x11 Thanks. -- Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177
