Since I first installed SuSE 9.1 I have had to recompile Mozilla in
order to get my printout to look correct. In the official rpms of both
Mozilla 1.6, 1.7rc2 and 1.7 the printout had some hallow font and when I
started Mozilla from the konsole I got a long list of error-messages
concerning missing fonts.

At first I recompiled Mozilla from the source at
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/ and the output was perfect. The last
couple of times I have recompiled Mozilla from the source rpms, where I
simply had to delete a single line in
/usr/src/packages/SPECS/mozilla.spec, and then recompile Mozilla using
the command 'rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/mozilla.spec', and
then Mozilla works perfectly without any errors. The line is '%patch11'
- Which calls the 'freetype.dif'-patch:

And now my question is: Am I missing some packages in my SuSE??? The
packages "freetype", "freetype-tools", "freetype2" and "freetype2-devel"
are all installed in the standard SuSE-versions and the directory
'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype' contains a lot of truetype-font...
So what is the problem???
