You might try "USE_XFS = Y", this will tell the clients to use the server's X font server instead of using the fonts in /opt/ltsp/i385/. If this solves your problem, you can either continue to use XFS, or you can copy the missing fonts into the appropriate directories on /opt/ltsp/i386/. -David > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
