I converted to xf86 4.3.0 (freebsd 4.8-RC) and when I try to start xclock like
I've always been able to (for the last 10+ yrs):

xclock -bg black -fg red -hd blue -hl white

I get this error:

cannot convert string "" to type XftFont (xclock)

the background does get set to black but no foreground colors seem to work, so
the clock shows up as invisible on a black background desktop.

I upgraded all my ports via portupgrade (standard freebsd stuff).  as far as I
can tell, xf86 4.3.0 installed and built ok from the ports area.

not sure why xclock CARES about fonts (xft).  and why that affects colors. ??
