I haven't seen these things... but I have seen, since installing 3.1r1 and
not before, that font assignments to other processes become corrupted. It
appears I need to restart W95 to restore things.
This is NOT a bug report, but rather an informal report of observed behavior
which might provide evidence of some sort of unsocial behavior by POV. I
also run Netscape 4.06, which is also relatively new, so it could also
be implicated in this problem.

Correction : I appear to have been able to resolve things
this time by killing POV and restarting it. But again,
Netscape could potentially be implicated. I leave this
observation as an invitation for those with similar experiences;
it is not of the confidence level of a real bug report, as
I have already noted.

I might be totally off here, but, having no problems as described here I did
have some erratic font-behaviour in Netscape while running applications that use
openGL. Perhaps that might have something to do with it. Apart from that I
believe there are some things that are also not real bugs, just, let's call them
'unexpected occurences' that seem to be related to the editor, more then to POV
itself. The reload-dialogs are an example of this.
Regards,
Remco
