Had exactly the same problem. It vanished after a re-install (nono don't worry, I don't think this is necessary) and the only difference I could notice in XF86Config was the *order* of the font paths. This doesn't appear on my machine anymore. Here's the section from my config, compare to yours: Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/ttfonts/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" EndSection Note that unsclaed fonts have been commented out, maybe that did the trick, maybe not - who knows. Lemme know if that helped. _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
