After upgrading Redhat 5.2 to 6.1 I've problems with the font-server.
Problem 1:
I have adapted my .Xdefaults file and everything looks alright for
xterm, but when I start for example the printtool I see only a black and
white frame (with no characters).
(By the way I've installed TrueType fonts and the xfs font server is
running.)
I think that  the system looks for a font which is defined in the
.Xdefaults files for a certain application; When this is not defined in
the .Xdefaults file  it uses a default font.
My first question is: Where is the default font defined?
How can I define a default -- findable and correct -- font for all users
on the system?

Problem 2:
Sometimes a user want to use the windows-manager of an other remote
machine. This is possible with the xdm and a chooser file. When I
connect to a SGI, which uses the
4Dwm window manager I have some  errors concerning the color-depth and I
don't
see some applications because of the fact that again some fonts are
missing.
Does anybody have suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
