It seems that the font matrix is not re-established properly. I want to collect some data points and ask people if they are observing similar behaviour. Strangely the problem only occurs on certain hardware, e.g. on a AMD 386/40 system, but not on a 486/33, at least at my site - no system is equal to another, though. So if anyone has this problem, please send me hardware and other configuration info that might be interesting. Thank you. -- --Chris Christoph P. U.
