Lately I've been finding many sites covered, or all but covered, with what may be either very dense pictographs, or a version of the stuff printed on the backs or carbons of checks to keep part of the data from being legible on the copies.

rpm -q says I'm running dillo-0.8.5-2.fc5 ; on this machine the opening screen doesn't show the version when I open it from another app (It's my default browser.), but when I open it from its icon, it calls itself 0.8.5-i18n-misc. Does that mean I have two conflicting versions installed??

Not necessarily. The Fedora Core packaged version dillo-0.8.5-2.fc5 is (I believe) the dillo 0.8.5 version plus a patch they choose to apply. If you go to the url "about:splash" it should show you information on what you have, The patch they apply is one that makes significant changes to the dillo internals, and is not one that the dillo-dev list chooses to support. Either the author, or the FC5 guys who apply the patch, are probably better people to talk to for help.

cron does yum update nightly, and I do it manually from time to time.

Anyway, what is wrong, and how do I fix it?

The description of the problem doesn't match anything I recall seeing (except perhaps possibly when I used the "nil" font family, which defaulted to "rather small", which could count as "dense pictographs"). If you can reproduce it (possibly with a pointer to a screenshot somewhere) using the plain dillo code, people here may be able to offer more help. Alternatively, the about:splash page probably gives more details about the patch author. The plain dillo code can be found at http://www.dillo.org/download.html, with a link to an FC5 rpm at http://www.hyperborea.org/software/dillo/ Good luck, f -- Francis Daly francis@daoine.org
