According to Steve Hsieh [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I encountered the same problem. Doing a mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/* seems to fix the problem for Xfree servers; it still doesn't work after that for AcceleratedX though. Thanks a lot for the hint. Unfortunately it doesn't work

You didn't say (and I can't figure out from your error messages) whether or not you are using AcceleratedX. If so, you need to go into all of your font directories and gunzip the fonts, then ncompress them if you have it, then do the mkfontdir step. AcceleratedX can't do gzipped fonts, but

I took a look at the output of the X server in an earlier post and it already uses xfs for the fonts. But you have to configure xfs so that it looks in the right place for the fonts. Take a look at the 'catalogue' line in /etc/X11/xfs/config. You have to set this to exactly the set of font

Xfs is the X Font Server. You won't have much problems if you don't use it, but it seems to be better than letting the X server manage the fonts in some cases. For example, you don't have to gunzip all fonts if you are using an X server that doesn't understand gzipped fonts. And of course you
