I get the subject error during the startup process. I can replicate
it manually, as below, within account kdetst (ie. PS1="kdetst: "):
kdetst: mkfontdir /home/kdetst/.fonts
kdetst: echo $?
0
So, the mkfontdir succeeds.
kdetst: xset +fp /home/kdetst/.fonts
xset: bad font path element (#64), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
The xset fails; testing the possible causes:
Obviously the directory exists.
kdetst: ll -d /home/kdetst/.fonts
drwxr-xr-x 2 kdetst users 4096 May 10 11:14 /home/kdetst/.fonts
The permissions look ok to me; am I misunderstanding something here?
kdetst: cat /home/kdetst/.fonts/fonts.dir
0
So it's not "missing fonts.dir."
No font server in use, just a set of font paths.
What is xset unhappy about?
TIA,
Jim
