Alright, we gotta make some comparisons > here. 1) Did you reboot your computer at all after the upgrade? 2) Are > you running a font server? 3) Are you using an ext3 filesystem? 1) Yes, the problem occured after a reboot. 2) Yes, I run xfs. I tried it with and without, even with xfs-ttf, no difference 3) No, I'm using ext2. I do use xfonts-base, xfonts-75dpi, xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi-transcoded, xfonts-100dpi-transcoded, xfonts-biznet. I tries so many thing, reinstalled X packages and font packages from testing (4.1.0-7), but still the same. I strace-d xfs, but no clue. It reads the fonts.dir and fonts.alias files, and then decided that the directory is unreadable. Finally I managed the solve it this way: I noticed Type1 and Speedo fond dirs are OK, copied all font files from misc to Type1, run update-fonts-dir and -alias a couple of time, (also copied /etx/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base... to ../Type1). First the effect was that Type1 got unreadable too, but after several tries it worked, and got the 'fixed' font from my hacked Type1 directory. I can't explain what is going on. It still can't read my misc, 75dpi, 100dpi directories. BTW, both xfs and xfs-ttf give errors in syslog when I start them, of the form: localhost xfs: ignoring font path element /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ (unreadable) --Adam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
