Where are you getting your X from? No release of Debian has XFree86 4.3.0, not even unstable or experimental; you might have installed it in a way that makes it unhappy. Certainly, check your font path in XF86Config or your font server configuration, if you're using a font server. > I have tried to just use TrueType fonts but X complains about font > fixed. This font is located in the misc fon directory. It's canonically a bitmapped font (the same as 6x13) that gets installed as 6x13.pcf.gz in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ on Debian. So you need to make sure that directory is listed in the font path. > Is there anyway to get XFT2 to alias fixed as Courier New? Completely unrelated subsystem. Well, not completely, but when X looks for a font it uses its own lookup system, not XFT. (It can use XFT to render TrueType fonts if it happens to pick one.) On the Debian X install, 'fixed' gets defined as an alias in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias. But once again, this would probably all work if that directory were in your font path. :-) > If not, how do I get X readable again? You should probably explain what you mean by "readable". Does all of your text get rendered in Chinese? Or as open squares? Or maybe in black labels on a black background, with a little black light that comes on when you've done something? -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
