Re: newbie xterminal problem

RH6.1 did the same thing to me.  Your terminals are defaulting to a
font that your system doesn't know how to display. Try using a font
selection dialog, either off the gnome menu or perhaps the options
dialog in GnomeTerminal to find a font that displays properly.  If you
want to use xterms instead of GnomeTerms you'll need to add the
font you find to your .Xdefaults file.

Good luck.

Subject: newbie xterminal problem


Hey, I just installed redhat6.1 with KDE OS. Im having a problem with the
xterminal windows. The entire window is all black, so I can't see any output
going to the window. What's strange is if I cover that window with another,
or if I go to settings and change the colors, I guess the screen repaints
and the black that was covering the terminal window disapears. But If I try
to enter any input, all output to the terminal window is covered by black
(squares) again. I thought maby it was a problem with KDE, so I installed
Gnome, and I got the same problem. Any ideas..?

Can you also reply at cubadc@mail.earthlink.net

Thanks alot, Christian Calloway
