Lanny Most probably a font problem you can fix. Look for msttcorefonts there is a spec file you download to build the rpm, pre-requisites are rpm-build, redhat-rpm-config, cabextract (epel), maybe make. Put the spec file in /usr/src/redhat/SPEC then from that directory run 'rpmbuild -ba msttcorefonts.spec' and after it downloads, extracts and builds the rpm it should be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch. Just rpm - ivh it from there and save a copy for future use. Sometimes the font mirrors hang, so if it hangs downloading something just ctrl-c out of it and re-run the rpmbuild. -Ross
