Rather than the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf having changed, it's where the xfonts-* packages are installing the fonts that seems to have changed. My 6.9 font configuration pointed someplace, but the 7.0 font files seem to get stored under /usr/share/fonts/X11 instead (off the top of my head... 'dpkg -L xfonts-100dpi' to confirm).

I hope that if you have to resort to that, it will solve your problems. -- Gonzalo HIGUERA DÍAZ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
