Hello,

I've got a problem that I've spend a day on and I still haven't got any closer. I've got FreeBSD 5.3, xorg, Xfce4 and Firefox installed from packages (I've got rather slow system at the moment to compile everything). Everything seemed to be ok... but...

...since the default firefox was 0.9, I've decided to upgrade it to the latest one, so I did 'portupgrade -r firefox'. Well, that went fine... Then, when I typed startx I've got numerous messages from xfce4 that some libraries like libgtk-x11-2.0.so.400 were missing. I've discovered that I have versions with .600 instead, so I've created links for .400 pointing to .600 versions. Everything started up happily, but... I can't get fonts to be displayed correctly. I've got all characters shown at the same place (overridden over each other) and positioned much higher that they should have been shown. xfontsel shows fonts correcly (I guess it does not use gtk2). The same problem exists in gedit, xfce (no single correct character).Other applications (opera, thunderbird) are ok.

HELP!

Thanks in advance.

You probably need to portupgrade everything. Assuming you cvup'd your ports tree, do this:

portupgrade -a

and post back with any problems. It sounds like the new firefox port upgraded your GTK but your XFCE is still linked against the old one.
