1. Remove this line from your configuration file and try it again FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" 2. Also, make sure you have FontPath "unix/:7100" 3. Make sure xfs is running do ps -eaf | grep xfs to verify 4. Check the port number do netstat -a | grep 7100 to verify Norm wrote: > RESENDING BECAUSE I GOT A MESSAGE THAT THE POSTING HAD BEEN DELETED BECAUSE > OF AN ATTACHMENT. > > Sorry for the delay but I don't get on the 737 very often any more. > > Anyway, while I was watching it boot today, I noticed that during the boot > process it said that the startup of the Font Server failed.
