The dreaded Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
- can happen at the least expected times. This happened to a collegue when upgrading packages on his fedora installation, and for some reason the font server wasn't starting. I had to help him remotely, relaying commands through the telephone, since ssh into his machine was not working either. To the point: wouldn't it be benecifial to embed the fixed font in the X server binary itself? It would harden the x server tremendously in case of system failures. On my system the fixed font, which is really the 6x13-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz is 4366 bytes big. -- Torgeir Veimo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
