The first part should be readable text, while the remaining parts are likely unreadable without MIME-aware tools. --279718404-645224190-1579021053=:31314 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8BIT 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?
