Jamie,

Thanks for the prompt reply.  I performed the upgrade in single-user 
mode, and did reboot afterwards.  I have created a new user account, and 
have tested using it.  The results were the same as for my existing 
account.  I elected not to upgrade from GNOME 1.4 settings when 
performing the upgrade.  I would appear to have the following installed:

--- working directory: /var/tmp/
% dpkg -l | egrep '(fontconfig|freetype|libxft2)'
ii  fontconfig     2.2.2-1.woody. generic font configuration library
ii  libfontconfig1 2.2.2-1.woody. generic font configuration library 
(shared l
ii  libfreetype6   2.1.7-1.woody. FreeType 2 font engine, shared library 
files
ii  libfreetype6-d 2.1.7-1.woody. FreeType 2 font engine, development files
ii  libxft2        2.1.2-5.woody. FreeType-based font drawing library for X

Done 16:23:15

I followed the instructions on

http://gnome22.alioth.debian.org/xfree86_43.html

and found that it was more trouble than it was worth.  I do appreciate 
your suggestions, though.

Michael
