Yes, at least I think so...Chapter 25 - sure Chapter 26.... "X Libraries This chapter does not contain libraries that are required to run X. It does contain libraries that enhance X. In some cases the enhancement is as simple as font support. In others it is as complex as libraries that sit between X and applications that run on X whose purpose is to standardize the look and feel and inter-process communications for different applications. They also assist programmers by supplying common elements." Did I miss something? > > Are your fonts installed in the paths that Xorg is looking? (Or are they > in /usr/share/fonts????) mmm let's see: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# ls -a /usr/share/fonts ls: /usr/share/fonts: No existe el fichero o el directorio [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/# what did I miss? (I sware I followed /all/ the steps detailed in chapter 25) any advice? recompile? reinstall? from where?
