Apps :: My own fault but help!!!

Well, I configured Sylpheed but I wanted to get Russian and Spanish language support on it as well as English. Unfortunately, I have misconfigured the fonts and now I can't figure out what to put back-- I can't read any of my emails now.

(Yes, this is worth mocking, but anyone who can help!)

I think you could just delete the language files, and your backup.tar.gz file, and as long as you have saved your emails to some other location, then just do an upgrade install of DSL to get the original Sylpheed back.

you could try backing up ~/Mail and then delete ~/.sylpheed.

then reboot.
