I am using a stock potato without X, I am compiling XFree86 4.1 from
source, then installing it to /usr/X11, I have added Antialiasing and
TTF support following instructions on
http://www.xfree86.org/~keithp/render/aafont.txt
I have installed it all, and setup an XFree86 configuration file. And
also started xfs.
Now I get this:
could not open default font 'fixed'
as the error.
I don't know what to do with this now. Anything I have found on google
hasn't been of much help to me. There seems to be many causes to this
none of which I found info on.
Does anyone else have this problem? If so how did you solve it?
Here is my XF86Config file (relevent parts only to prevent from being
too large):
Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables
# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA
extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "speedo"
# This loads the GLX module
# Load "glx"
EndSection
