Re: [tbox-l] Gnome Terminal, text not showing up

[<mcn...@au...>]

Hi Joseph,

It's been a while since I have seen this problem.

I think the easiest solution is to install (from AIX media)
X11.fnt.ucs.ttf.

Then run /opt/freeware/bin/fc-cache .
This will let FontConfig know the new fonts are there.

I think that will do it.  Let me know if it doesn't and
I'll see if I can remember more.

Dan
