Hi Mingfeng, You are the second person to report this behavior -- the other person was also on Linux. Can you tell me what graphics cards you have and what driver version? Do regular atom labels show up? Do 2D labels work (Tools->Utilities->2D Labels)? Can you check your Background preferences and make sure the default font size is > 0 and try changing the font style to see if that makes any difference? --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab pett@cgl.ucsf.edu http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Jan 10, 2006, at 2:56 PM, Mingfeng Yang wrote:

I am using Chimera build 1.2186 on Gentoo linux. Strangely, when the distance between two atoms is shown by the command "distance", the number is no longer displayed along the yellow dashed line. Did the developers removed this function? Or is it a bug?

Regards, Mingfeng
