I cut this from a screenshot - if you want me to make it bigger, let me know, but I think this clearly shows the issue.

emerge --info from an older setup showing the same issue
This emerge --info comes from a system that hasn't been updated since June 2005, which still shows the "font box" problem, with these versions of software:
Mozilla 1.7.5
Blackdown JDK 1.4.2-01
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.902
If you want more info from any of my systems, let me know :)
The PLC manufacturer has released a new applet which doesn't show this issue any more (only years after it first surfaced). thanks. |
