Guess we should back out that update (or create alternatives).
I reply to this old thread... did we do any progresson this?
I just finished upgrading everything on my NetBSD laptop - current kernel, Userland, X and all pkgsrc!
I am still "bitten" by this. The cancer of missing fonts makes WindowMaker unusable, but actually bites manny applications: browser, emacs.. something only few characters are off.
Or do I miss "fonts" ?
