Re: [Texmacs-dev] qt-texmacs not displaying documents well in ubuntu 9.10

[Norbert Nemec]

I am running the same system:
   TeXmacs/Qt from SVN, (K)ubuntu 9.10 AMD64.

without any problems of the kind that you describe.

It might indeed be some kind of dependency problem, but I have no idea 
what it might be.

Alternatively, you might want to try renaming the ~/.TeXmacs so all the 
settings are created from scratch. I once had really strange problems 
due to corrupted data in that directory.

Sorry, that I cannot be of more help. :-(
