I do not know where this font came from; it was in the openSuSE 
distribution many moons ago in some package but I do not know which.  I 
selected this font a long time back.  I tried running with -q and then 
Optipns->Set Default Font but the interface defeated me.  The only 
font family that a recognised was Adobe Courier which looks way to 
spidery to use.

Looking around at what has changed I saw that --with-cairo was the 
default, so I built with --without-cairo and that works as before.
Sorry not to be able to answer the quetsions; visual stuff is not by 
forte and I am largely ignorant of what cairo is.

Is thete a way of finding out wat fonr I am actually using?
