I tried with setfont 0.96a, still had the same problems that were reported
for 2.1.107, no problems on 2.1.106. Also I notice some really wierd
behavior with gmp, when I tried to copy and paste text, it appeared to
randomly chopping characters out of the paste.

Also I did notice the screen refresh, or whatever it was, when the 2.1.107
booted up, I don't much care for that, either. Saw a report that
Shft+PageUp wouldn't work anymore under 2.1.107, but I didn't try it, that
is an useful feature.
