don't know whether this will help you much, in my RH 7.2 installation you can find these fonts in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.dir and ...../fonts.alias as well as in .../75dpi/fonts.dir and ..../fonts.alias since these are the fixed fonts which X like to have, I can imagine that you get into trouble if it does not find them. Strange is that I installed RH 7.2 on a couple of PC without any such issue. However, if you specified font paths in your XF86Config-4, you better have the fixed fonts path come before the others (I have misc followed by 100dpi, 75 dpi and then the others) As I said above I don't know whether this will help much Lionel --- Chris Tucker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Folks - > > A customer of ours is currently porting their application from a standalone DEC >Alpha running > OSF/Motif, to a networked system in which the Alpha becomes a client to an X server >provided by > my company.
