I can say now that we have problems with ligature joining in xft2 the problem is: this problem happened to you "using xft2" this problem happened in mandrake 9.1 and we had to disable xft happened to a slackware 9 user "xft again, but i'm not sure" ON MY debian woody, I'm using gnome 2.2 "garnome" and i've compiled xft2 from the source "garnome did it" and everything is working fine tough i didn't disable XFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really feeling that there is something strange here -- ---------------- -- Katoob Main Developer Linux registered user # 224950 ICQ # 58475622 FIRST make it run, THEN make it run fast "Brian Kernighan".
