You might wanna install some truetype fonts as described here http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/xorg-config.html Scroll down to "Xft Font Protocol" If that persists, try redirecting startx output to a file and see if there are any errors/warnings about Pango or Cairo (which handle the fonts in GTK+2). -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
