Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately different encodings didn't make |
| 17 |
much difference. However, I did notice this when I started firefox from |
| 18 |
the command line: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
$ firefox |
| 21 |
No running windows found |

what on earth does that mean? I tried installing |
| 27 |
font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi and font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi but |
| 28 |
that didn't seem to do anything. I think I'm barking up the wrong |
| 29 |
tree... |
