I already tried 'xset fp default' since I know that worked for me under RedHat 8 when I had similar problems. This time it fails to resolve the problem. Here's what I find in the above directory: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /home/ralvy/dosemu/freedos/../Xfonts total 36 -rw-r--r-- 1 ralvy ralvy 425 Jun 6 15:32 fonts.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 ralvy ralvy 14 Oct 15 21:00 fonts.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 ralvy ralvy 24632 Nov 4 1995 vga.pcf - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
