I'm getting exactly the same error if I hide the fonts XView is complaining about here, so the two warnings are the cause of the problem. Do you have the xfonts-75dpi or xfonts-100dpi packages installed? Looking at your X server log file, that doesn't seem to be the case. Otherwise, the following output should also contain /usr/share/fonts/X11/{75,100}dpi: > (**) FontPath set to: > /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc, > /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1, > /var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType Please try installing these packages, restart your X server and if XView apps still fail, send the output of "xlsfonts | grep lucida-medium", the new X server log file and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
