-quoted from my post on bb.themes.org forum-
I've been encountering a recurring problem over multiple distributions
and multiple versions of X.
The problem is - any fonts that come with the themes for blackbox won't
work.
I follow the instructions in x.themes.org (or use artwiz's pcfinstall
script) and I can see the fonts using
xfontsel -fn snap
or
xfd -fn snap
But blackbox does not find them. (I'm running the latest from
blackbox.alug.org 0.61)
The line *Font : snap returns me the same font
as *Font: thereisnofontwiththisname
By placing *Font: 6x10 the fonts change...
also
*Font: -*-helvetica-*-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
works fine.
This problem has occurred with a Red Hat 6.2 box running whatever
version of XFree86 (3.3.6 I think?) comes standard. It also has occurred
with a Red Hat 6.2 box with a completely new XFree86 4.0.1 install (ie.
rm -rf/usr/X11R6)
I am stumped.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
