>> I re-installed my two font packages: >> xorg-x11-fonts-dpi75 >> xorg-x11-fonts-misc
OK, sorry, I've tried every which way to recover from the consequences of this reorganisation including the re-installation described above by Jim Reisert using setup.ini timestamped 1442007529; but still got the "Error writing file" message >> Unable to extract >> /etc/X11/fontpath.d/xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi:unscaled:pri=20 followed by >> Unable to extract >> /etc/X11/fontpath.d/xorg-x11-fonts-misc:unscaled:pri=10 During the re-installation; and then the same message as before >> Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct when starting xterm. Are users meant to be able to recover their glitch-free system using self-help (in which case can anybody please provide a recipe e.g. a sequenced re-installation?!) or are we awaiting a fix with a new timestamp? Just a question, not a nag ... thank you.
