The output isn't quite what I'd expect, but I think this is because it's using the builtin fonts only. Try rebuilding the server with --disable-builtin-fonts, or apply this patch that's a candidate for 1.6: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=49b93df8a3002db7196aa3fc1fd8dca1c12a55d6 I suspect that will get your fixed fonts back. -- Dan _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
