Hi,
got Sylpheed working by downloading it from ponce. Found some posts here that said that slackonly didn't work properly because the hoster is compiling. which is probably why I couldn't get the client to work.
All is working now and I've got my thumbdrive running like I want

Re: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
