Problem workarounded...

The cause? Every file under "misc" contains nothing, as gzipped during the
make process.

Follows the quote of a forum, that helped me to solve the problem... (I cp´d
my fonts from the X11 r7.3 that stills on another dir)


*can't open default font "fixed" (problem solved,it's so silly)*
------------------------------
it is about the xorg-7.4 and the fonts,when you trying to start X,it says it
can't found the font "fixed",and if you cat /etc/x11/xorg.conf ,you will
find the path are there and the files are there,and after endless
google<http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/cant-open-default-font-fixed-problem-solvedits-so-silly-685862/#>
won't
help,it's a nightmare.

later i found the problem is the font were never there,yes,they appears to
be there,but they were empty files,so what the hell is going on?
try compile and make,you will find the misc fonts give this :
t <filename> | gzip > <filename>.gz
bash:t :command not found.
so we get lot of gziped file on the directory and they were all empty.
i don't know if it's a bug,it's so silly,i just greped some fonts files from
ubuntu and cp it to the path directory,and X worked.

so guys ,be aware,if you have the same problem,check this out.


And... last question. Which the HECK is "t"??? :S
