Hi - Seeking yr advice for a fairly slim X installation. Right now I have only the xfntbase fonts installed, and I get plenty of "can't get font courier-..." or "adobe" or "helvetica" messages when starting apps. The Contents file tells me several such fonts are hanging around in xfnt75 and xfnt100, and some in xfntscl.
Which of those package(s) would be most useful under 800x600 on the SVGA server? What situation calls for 75dpi, 100dpi, or scalable fonts? The common apps I run right now include rxvt, emacs, & xmosaic. It'd be great to just add one of those font packages. I can certainly try installing them in turn and see what lights up my life, but maybe I can get a little more background than I have from docs or FAQs on the roles of those different fonts. Many thanks as always, -- Ed Donovan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
