Thanks a lot, it works. There is no font path in the xorg.conf, and after I add them in, it comes out. Another thing is, it did not recognize the "\ " to space, the " " will work. The font line I am using is: Aterm*font: -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1 Though the font seems a little bigger than I suppose, anyway, it works. Sorry for replying later due to lot of work these days. -- Best wishes, Kemian _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
