Your careful (quite impressive, actually) reply encouraged me to
inspect my collection of font files. I noticed a discrepancy between:
/etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias
and
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/fonts.

The subject line is a failure message from tightvncserver, running on

Time spent on google reveals that this is not an uncommon error
Ok, now I'm really confused:
I ran this to extract out the .deb:
$ dpkg-deb -x /var/cache/apt/archives/xfonts-base_4.3.0-5_all.deb xbase
$ grep ^fixed xbase/etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias

Ok, I only have ssh access right now, but this is interesting. Seems
the Sid update created 8859-15 font aliases for me, but I don't have fo
Argh X11 again.
Just did an update on a Sid machine and now xfree86 server isn't

When i try to start x it crashes giving me the message
"could not open default font 'fixed'".
I have checked the FontPath and font directories for
fonts.dir and everything appears to be ok after
reading the Fonts-HOWTO.
Is there an obvious solu

Try running as root :
cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts
update-fonts-alias 100dpi 75
I am trying to install X11 on a machine in preparation to show linux to
other users. At the moment I am stuck with the error message in the
subject-line on Woody.
I do not find "fixed" in XF86Config-4 and commenting it out in
/etc/X11/XftConfig did not help.
I hope somebody can help.

yup, figured that out about 30 minutes ago, was about to send an e-mail
to the list. I actually just reinstalled xfonts-base, which did the
same thing.

This is recent breaka
I think it's a different issue, as I just got hit by it on my laptop, and
I don't have any biznet fonts installed, and it being a laptop, means it
reboots a lot. In fact, over the past 2 days, I haven't installed any X
Core package, so I have no idea what has changed over the past couple of
days.

I'm not sure what the best way is but . . .
find the offending ximian package (you said dpkg -l|grep ximian which
sounds good) and run:
#apt-cache show
this should tell you all about the ximian package and the Debian package
that it replaces.

It's a bad idea to run Ximian with Debian. Ximian messes stuff up all
the time (even in stable) so you'll have to keep dealing with stuff like
