This strikes me as being far more likely a font problem. X handles running out of colors "gracefully"... by not displaying them. (Netscape 4.7 works fine on Suns with 8-bit consoles... it just looks horrid.) Font problems, on the other hand, will really wreck your day, and the bounds checking for them within many X server is very broken. (I've seen it happen in NetBSD's XsunMono and in early XF86 4s.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
