This pretty much rules out my first idea, but I suppose it is worth double checking. Make sure that the section in /etc/fonts/local.conf to enable bitmapped fonts is uncommented.

My second idea is that maybe you need to run fc-cache -fv as root to update font caching info. > Thanks for your help ! > -- > Bill Footcow I hope it helps, Josh
