Thanks to the very person who got me *into* Linux, I have the answer
for you. Or, at least a "work-around". Personally, I would like to
know **WHY** this should even be necessary.
At shell prompt, edit the following files (each in turn) with your
favorite Unix-based editor:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config
/etc/X11/XF86Config
Look for the line that contains the following five (5) lines:
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:-1"
And then insert a "#" before "FontPath" and Save/Exit the file.
You should end up with the following change:
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
# FontPath "unix/:-1"
That's all there is to it.
