Xterminal and fonts problem

1997-10-09 Thread Heiko Heijenga
Howdy, I've managed to get a X terminal working, but I have some problems with the fonts (I suppose). When I log on, there is no window-manager started, no problem. When I start one there are some errors concerning fonts. [ttyp0,zoef] 22:38 numatix:/home/zoef
