Oh good, I feared that I'd aske someone to look at my computer screen within X and have no text to read. It doesn't matter to me what it looks like, longs there is something there for the sightlings. <smile> Although, I guess gnopernicus and orca will need a working font system.
Well, that is to say that that is the core X font system crashing X (if that message about CID not being found is to be believed). I think after reading your earlier post, you're saying that X is working but it gives the "can't find CID fonts" in the log. If that is correct, then don't worry about it.

As long is it's not crashing the X server, I wouldn't worry about these too much. If you're going to install Gnome, then it will use Fontconfig and the pretty TrueType fonts. The X fonts will basically just sit there and collect cyber dust.

Good to hear. As long as you get output from `fc-list' that you can find *some* font, then you can safely move on to GTK+/Gnome land and forget all about the Core X Font system. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
