Ever since importing the Windows truetype fonts on my Linux Mandrake 7.2
system, I've been having trouble with xfs.
I used the strong truetype checking option to help avoid problems, but
when xfs is started as the xfs user it gives the following error and dies.
This is what I get when I run xfs -port -1 from the commandline:
_FontTransSocketINETCreateListener: Unable to get service for -1
_FontTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for tcp
_FontTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.font-unix should be set to root
FontCacheInitialize: hi=1048576, lo=786432, bal=70
xfs error: Element #6 (starting at 0) of font path is bad or has a bad
font:
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
Aborted
The same thing happens when I ask xfs to -droppriv
However, when I run xfs as root, it starts and runs fine:
SocketINETCreateListener: Unable to get service for -1
_FontTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to create listener for tcp
FontCacheInitialize: hi=1048576, lo=786432, bal=70
After perusing strace output, I can't find anything that is unreadable by
the user xfs, so I don't know what to make of this error, as it doesn't
appear to be a filesystem permission problem. I've also tried with
explicitly specifying -config /etc/X11/fs/config when running as root to
make sure the fonts it's trying to use are the same.
Any hints?
