Oriental(?) overlay

Lately I've been finding many sites covered, or all but
covered, with what
may be either very dense pictographs, or a version of the
stuff printed on
the backs or carbons of checks to keep part of the data from
being legible
on the copies.

rpm -q says I'm running dillo-0.8.5-2.fc5 ; on this machine
the opening
screen doesn't show the version when I open it from another
app (It's my
default browser.), but when I open it from its icon, it
calls itself
0.8.5-i18n-misc. Does that mean I have two conflicting
versions installed??

cron does yum update nightly, and I do it manually from time
to time.

Anyway, what is wrong, and how do I fix it?

Not necessarily.

The Fedora Core packaged version dillo-0.8.5-2.fc5 is (I
believe) the
dillo 0.8.5 version plus a patch they choose to apply.  If
you go to the
url "about:splash" it should show you
information on what you have,

The patch they apply is one that makes significant changes
to the dillo
internals, and is not one that the dillo-dev list chooses to
support.

Either the author, or the FC5 guys who apply the patch, are
probably
better people to talk to for help.

The description of the problem doesn't match anything I
recall seeing
(except perhaps possibly when I used the "nil"
font family, which
defaulted to "rather small", which could count
as "dense pictographs").

If you can reproduce it (possibly with a pointer to a
screenshot
somewhere) using the plain dillo code, people here may be
able to offer
more help.  Alternatively, the about:splash page probably
gives more
details about the patch author.

The plain dillo code can be found at http://www.dillo.o
rg/download.html,
with a link to an FC5 rpm at http://www.
hyperborea.org/software/dillo/

Good luck,
