I had a similar problem on a machine I installed for a client that wasn't
going to be networked, so I disabled networking completely (which of
course broke fonttastic). Do you have the loopback interface enabled
(ie. lo)? If not, enable it (ie. do a /etc/rc.d/init.d/network
start). I'd imagine that this is not your problem, however. That was the
only time fonttastic wouldn't work for me. One I fixed that, it and XFS
ran together just fine and so did WP2000.

I don't know. I've only ever tried it with 7.0. I haven't tried
installing WP2000 with 7.1.
