We may only support our rpms, not the ones packaged by RedHat 7.3.
You may ask RedHat for a support.
You may also install the rpms from
http://fvwm-themes.sf.net/rpm/ .
If you are new to FVWM and do not have any good .fvwm2rc, install
fvwm-themes too and start fvwm-themes-start instead of fvwm.
If you have problems with fonts in your other applications, try to
change your locale, for example change /etc/sysconfig/i18n to contain
LANG="en_US". If you have problems in fonts used by FVWM, try to install
2.5.x instead of 2.4.x.
In any case, always visit your console where you get the X output and
copy all releant error messages that you see when reporting problems.
And report the version you have by running "fvwm-config --version".
Do not yield.
Regards,
Mikhael.
