Hi Satish: Looks like fonts/local and fonts/CID are not in the font path. Suse Linux handles fonts in a round about way. The 'chkfontpath' command is usually used for configuring the directories contained in the X font server's path. However, I could not find the RPM package for chkfontpath either on the system or in the DVD. For starter's you might want to comment the offending lines in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file Section "Files" --> FontPath entries. Hope this helps. thanks Saifi.
