Folks,
Has anyone run IDL (any version) on a SUSE 11.0 version
of LINUX? It seems that all widget fonts are totally
screwed up. My new student intern is not greatly
impressed with IDL, although I fear this is a SUSE
font problem, not an IDL problem. Any light you can
shed will be appreciated.
Cheers,
David

Sorry, I don't remember what it was (or what they were). I have my
system set up to check for updates regularly, and I select to apply
most, if not all, of them. A lot of packages have had more than one
updates/upgrades since I first encountered the widget-font problem (late
June).
