TinyX Could not open default font 'fixed'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



HI,
am building TinyX for ARM embedded.  when start Xfbdev, screen blanks which 
seems it can find frame buffer fine but get font errors

"could not init font path element .... removing from list"
"Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'"

Apparently fonts are not built-in for TinyX.  I can see   lib/font/builtins
being compiled but they're not referenced during Link time for Xfbdev

David Dawes 6/16/05 post affirms that TinyX does not use built-in fonts

Looking at font.aliases,  "fixed" references ISO8859-1 font.  

A Debian post from August 2006 says the file should be ISO8859-1.PCF

Cannot find ISO8859-1.PCF or any other such font files  (only found .H files) 
in the build tree or projects (after make World, make install) 

My question is:  How are fonts supposed to be built and installed ?

anyone out there have worked with TinyX on embedded ARM Linux?

thanks in advance
