It could be a problem with the font server. Perhaps you could
try using explicit font paths instead of a fonts server? That
is put your /etc/X11/fs/config font paths into the XF86Config
file in place of the "unix" font path (the font server).
Eg:
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
It may work better with XFree86 4.3. We've had some problems with
the font server in the past, but I haven't heard about them since 4.3.
I do still hear of freetype choking on fonts with 4.3 though.
Mark.
