Hi,.

I crashed mandrake recently and broke my font config, the only way i can get 
X to startup without the famous errno 2, 'default font 'fixed' not found, 
message is to hack my X config to,..

FontPath="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"

if i try 
FontPath="/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts75dpi" etc

it will fail with default font 'fixed' not found, why ?

Also if i use the default '/fs/config' (catalog=sensible/path, sensible=path)

and mkfontdir '/sensible/path/,sensible/path'

and FontPath='unix/:-1', it fails with default font 'fixed' not found, why ?

case any of the fonts were corrupted, i did a 'rpm -i --force ./XFree86-*'
but that made no diffrence.

any help would be appreacated,..

regards
