Somewhere in .xinitrc?
You can add the line xmessage*font: -*-fixed-*-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* to the file `~/.Xresources'. (I think that file is read at the start of the X session, but to be certain you can add xrdb -merge ${HOME}/.Xresources to ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession, as the case may be. I personally keep my Xresources elsewhere, and merge them as above.) HTH, Raghavendra. -- N.
