Funny, it seems that my entire X workspace has sped up dramatically by adding the load type1 directive. I'm happy, jas.

I'll have to check... No, sorry I wasn't clearer. What helped was adding: Loadtype1 To my Module section. I had been using xfs, but my fonts weren't working properly. That fixed it. That doesn't make sense. xfs supports Type1 fonts. Do you have any other FontPath lines in your XF86Config besides the one for the font server?

I have no idea how to test it. Are you saying that with xfs, I shouldn't need the Load type1? Because it *definately* makes a difference. Suddenly the font menus in XEmacs work again, etc. jas.

I have no idea how to test it. You should have read the debconf note from xfs saying 'xfs doesn't listen to TCP ports by default'. Are you saying that with xfs, I shouldn't need the Load type1? No. xfs can handle all fonts. Because it *definately* makes a difference. Suddenly the font menus in XEmacs work again, etc. Just put FontPathunix/:7100 as the font path for the font server, that will (a) make it work again and (b) make it as fast as without font server (which is what you're using right now). -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)\ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer CS student, Free Software enthusiast \XFree86 and DRI project member
AbiWord font issues
Hey All, I'm trying to test AbiWord, but I can't get it to start. I'm wondering if it's something to do with my X server being 4.1.0? Or if it has to do with my running a font server? Has anyone seen this problem, and gotten AbiWord to work? AbiWord could not load the following font from the X Window System display server: [-*-Times New Roman-regular-r-*-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-*] Thanks, jas.
