Hello, > > fixed -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 sorry, the font I chose for the example was misleading. Some general things: X11 opens Font-Files in the directories, which are mentioned in XF86Config file in the section "Files". X11 tries to open in each of the directorie file named "fonts.dir" to find out which Fonts/Sizes are saved in each file. For further info try "man mkfontdir"
As You can see, each line of fonts.dir contains "FontFileName Fontname/Attributes" X11 needs two Fontnames, cursor and fixed You need an entry like 6x12.pcf.gz fixed in fonts.dir, but as You can see, the fontnames have much more longer name than one word. sth. like: 6x12.pcf.gz -aaa-bbb-ccc-x-ddd--12-110-75-75-c-60-Codepage in the file fonts.alias You can define Your own names, the names fixed and cursor are mostly defined there. Just chouse a line from fonts.dir copy the line to the file fonts.alias in the same directory, and replace fontfilename to "fixed" e.g. for the line above: fixed -aaa-bbb-ccc-x-ddd--12-110-75-75-c-60-Codepage good luck Am Donnerstag, 3.
