I compiled the latest snapshot of Y-Windows on Linux. Everything went okay, however when I try to run startY I get: Reading (header) from Y Socket: Success Aborted I can run the Y binary by itself, but when I try to launch yiterm or any other of the Y apps, I get the same error. TIA, Owen

Please allow my erm, rant?, for being somewhat anal, but.. WHY?! Okkkay, I can understand requiring a font [in development code], but.. A Microsoft font? How can we be sure you're not a softie out to screw over the OSS community by wasting our time? erm. </paranoia-nutcase-mode> :) This is something I'd like to work on, e.g. font selection / configuratino for the "base" apps [e.g. term, etc], and perhaps a standardized font selection setup? Any advice[1]/guidance/this-is-already-being-done-so-begone-troll? ;) Thanks, Kris! [1] I mean, what do you want out of such a system, what are you envisioning?
If you're interested, I've attached the patch I use. It changes all the fonts to Luxi Sans which (on my distro at least) comes with XFree. I don't think there's a way to chose them yet though.
