Do you have the "fixed" font? For Xorg this is found in the Xorg misc-misc package. Look at the source downloads at http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/font/ Or if you did have XFree86 installed then adjust your FontPath (in your xorg.conf) to point to your XFree86 fonts. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list XFree86@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
