Hi,
I am trying to install debian woody for the first time on my computer.
Until now, I didn't change any configurations manualy.
My problem: the window-managers twm and fvwm2 exit instantly with an
error-massage saying that they don't find their X-fonts:
--------------------------------
hm@altmann:~$ fvwm2
[FVWM][GetFontSetOrFixed]: WARNING -- can't get fontset 'fixed', trying
'-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'
[FVWM][GetFontSetOrFixed]: ERROR -- can't get fontset
'-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'
hm@altmann:~$ twm
twm: unable to open fontset
"-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"
-----------------------------
My X-server and xfs are running and I can start an xterm by putting
"exec xterm" into my $HOME/.xsession. ("exec fvwm2" or "exec twm" end in
an instant X-server shut down).
The approprate lines in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 are:
---------------------------------------------------
.
.
.
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath " /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath " /usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
EndSection
.
.
.
-----------------------------------------------------
I also can find all this fonts with "fslsfonts -server unix/:7100" or
even when starting an other xterm with
xterm -font "-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"
or
xterm -font '-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'
emacs and mozilla find their fonts, too. Why don't the window-managers???
Do I have to change the config-files for twm or fvwm2, respectively?
Thank you for any help.
