Hi Just installed 7.2 over 6.1 (fresh install, not update). The machine sits in my cupboard and acts as a internet gateway & mail server. I used X-Win32 to run X-sessions from my Win2K machine, but after the new install, although I can connect to run an xterm, I can't get some window managers to work. 'twm' and 'mwm' will run ok, but when I try to start IceWM...
andrew@tau:~ > icewm Bad option: MultiByte Could not load fontset '-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*'. Fallback to '*fixed*' failed. Segmentation fault When I try to start fvwm2... andrew@tau:~ > fvwm2 [FVWM][GetFontSetOrFixed]: WARNING -- can't get fontset fixed, trying 'fixed' [FVWM][GetFontSetOrFixed]: ERROR -- can't get fontset 'fixed' When I run KDE... andrew@tau:~ > kde xset: bad font path element (#36), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax xset: bad font path element (#36), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax xset: bad font path element (#36), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax xset: bad font path element (#36), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax kdeinit: Shutting down running client. Although KDE does then go on to load properly. I get the same problems if I try to run X-Windows on the machine itself locally (not over the network) so the problems isn't because of that. I can use 'xfontsel' to view fonts so it appears X can find my fonts. My /etc/X86Config includes all my font directories. AFIK, the local machine is set up for XFree3 (not 4). Please help asap - this is really bugging me and I can't find a solution anywhere... :o( Many thanks, Andrew Smith _______________________________________________ Fonts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/fonts
