I tried this way, too. If I try it exactly as written, I have the same problem as I described in response to Benavento's e-mail, i.e. abaco: openfont: bad height or ascent in font file and more, there is a note about suicide. When I do 'bind -b' instead, abaco starts, but often complains (there is a short-lasting note anytime I try to scroll): bad character rune set for 0x0000 in /lib/font/bit/lucidasans/passwd.6.font Otherwise fonts are nicer. Nonetheless, some letters are missing, I see rectangles (I speak Czech and the language uses quite a few accented characters). Any explanation or help as to what is wrong? R
