Do a "apt-get update" then run "apt-get --reinstall install xfonts-base". This should get rid of this error and get X running, provided you don't have other problems. This is a frequent problem encountered on an upgrade from Potato to Woody...many other posts on this Mailing Lists. You might want to scan back through this month's messages to get a discussion of this...something about a "munged" alias file, I think. Cheers, -Don Spoon-
