I saw one question on this in the archives, but I didn't see an answer, so I'll ask it again.
I have one working debian X installation and one not working installation (The one that works is 2.1, the one that doesn't is 2.1r3, both plain vanilla). Unfortunately the one that doesn't work is the one I need to work. Obviously, I fouled up my new installation, but I can't figure out where. Netscape and xemacs give the following errors: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ netscape & [1] 2019 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-o-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Note: If I edit my font preferences in Netscape, I only have a choice of three: clean (Schumacher), fixed (misc), fixed (Sony). I get the same sort of error with xemacs: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xemacs & [1] 2268 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Thinking this my be a fontserver problem, I've check the following: I think this means my X font server is running: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps waux | grep xfs root 160 0.0 0.0 1576 12 ?

I see a fonts.dir, et al file in each. Any idea why I'm experiencing such a shortage of fonts--I have oodles of them installed. TIA, Kevin
