I have the same problem with xmbmon, here is the error I get. Can't find font: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-* I tries to see if I could start ion3. I did: apt-get install io3 then ion3 and got this error >> Unable to redirect root window events for screen 0. >> Refusing to start due to encountered errors. Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font I have tried to apply the differences that the above fix suggests to my /usr/bin/dexconf but I still can not run either xmbmon or io3 I get the same error. The differences between my files and suggested fix are the directory structure of the fonts which are different.
