What all of you are talking about? Most X servers won't even start if the font alias "fixed" isn't defined, so "fixed", not "*-fixed-*" should be the last-resort fallback. Most of people have it set to the default fixed font with iso8859-1 charset, and some (me, for example) to the same with local charset (koi8-r in my case). *-fixed-* on my box also returns "-jis-fixed-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-c-0-jisx0208.1983-0", so it's hardly an uncommon setup. -- Alex -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL:http://www.fvwm.org/>.
