[XFree86] Xnest Font Server setting

2008-06-14 Thread Girish Hilage
Hi,

I am trying to connect to XServer using Xnest as follows :

 Xnest :1 -kb -terminate -name -query X_SERVER_IP -geometry 1280x969
-fp tcp/FONT_SERVER_IP:7100

but I can only see a blank window which vanishes within a fraction of a
second.
The error I see is : could not open default font 'fixed'.

Now, if I use,

 Xnest :1 -kb -terminate -name -query X_SERVER_IP
-geometry 1280x969
-fp 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cursor/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/arkpandora,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

then I can successfully connect to X and can see Xnext login window.

Now, if I run the first command again then this time it works fine
without any error.

Is there any reason why it did not work if I tried only
FONT_SERVER_IP:7100 before specifying all the font paths and it worked
after specifying font paths? Does this have anything to do with caching?

Regards,
Girish
