You have to remake the fonts.dir file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc. As root, cd to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, and run 'mkfontdir'. Then 'xset fp rehash', or restart the X server. This is documented in the xset manual page. Roland -- R.F.Smith (http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/) Please send e-mail as plain text. public key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/pubkey.txt
