From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020712 Description of problem: When I send or recieve a message using gaim .59, neither screennames nor timestamps appear to the left of the message sent or received. In addition, certain peoples messages cannot be seen at all... all that appears is a newline. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start Gaim 2.Send/Receive a message to someone. Additional info:
Little update: While I can't see screen names for anyone in a conversation window, it seems that the messages getting blanked out are from AOL users only, not AIM/GAIM users. Hmmm... is this a bug or a feature?
OK, I got to the bottom of it.. I installed the 75dpi and 100dpi fonts, which were not installed with a default workstation. However, you might consider creating a dependancy, considering gaim was rather unusable without it.
It's been fixed in the tree.
