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

Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir

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
