I don't think so, xfs 1:1.0.1-5 works without problems for me as a font server for Xorg 7.0 > Now I cannot get gnucash to work (mission-critical problem), and both > emacs and xemacs give me empty boxes for characters (workaround found). > > **** > > The gnucash problem is critical.

I think that you furthermore need "gsfonts-x11" to make these postscript type1 fonts available under X. Since you installed the xfs font server during the upgrade you can check if the fonts are known under their aliases: $ fslsfonts -s unix/:7100 | grep 'adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal.*-120' -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso10646-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso10646-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-67-iso8859-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-88-iso10646-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-88-iso10646-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-88-iso8859-1 -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-88-iso8859-1 Also check if you have the following two FontPath elements in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf: FontPath "unix/:7100" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" I have a different version of GnuCash (1.9.8 on Sid), therefore I cannot tell you if the above is enough for GnuCash 1.8.10, but it certainly should not hurt. -- Regards, Florian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
