By the way, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a forum unsuited to talking about this; it's more a list for discussion of the fonts that are shipped with XFree86, and the technologies associated with them. There are many other lists that would be more suited, notably https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list if you're a user of Red Hat.
Ar an 2� l� de m� 4, scr�obh kenneth campbell : > Hello to all, > I changed permissions as directed, edited Config-4, tried to restart > xfs and the service failed to start. Did XFree86 fail to start this time? If it didn't, what are the contents of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config? (This is your font server configuration file, whose location may, again, vary. You could confirm its location by firstly looking at the script that launches xfs and verifying that the former doesn't specify another config file, and then running strings(1) on the xfs binary to make sure it was compiled with /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config as the default config file.) You could make sure that all the directories mentioned in the catalogue line are readable, and contain valid fonts.alias and fonts.dir files. If nothing obvious is wrong, you could try running "strace -o tracefile.txt xfs" and then have a look at what xfs was doing immediately before it exited (in tracefile).Your xfs may have been compiled to go immediately into the background by default, in which case the above command would be "strace -o tracefile xfs -nodaemon". Also, search the web for for more info on this; this is one of the most common questions seen on several of the XFree86 fora, and there are certainly solutions available for it. "could not open default font "fixed"" would be a good search term. -- "I have heard the swelling cry of the English speaking peoples of the world, and it tells me their cause is served best by flaming the few complacent asses on usenet." -- T.
