I just upgraded my system to the latest XFree (4.3.0-4, I believe). In my
startxwin I had an xset fp+ to add the truetype fonts directory to the font
path (which I never got working...perhaps this is a hint, but...)
With the latest bits the Xserver core dumps shortly after the xset fp+
happens.

I have. You need an XF86Config file in /etc/X11. There is
a link to an example XF86Config file in the cygwin/xfree
FAQ or User Guide (I can't get to the site right now to

Did you have to run ttmkfdir (or whatever it is called) at any point?

Yes, I have run both ttmkfdir and mkfontdir in the directory. Interestingly,
if I do the xset after the window manager is up (as best I can correlate
it), it works fine. But, if I do it in startxwin, the font element
Got it. Need to run ttmkfdir BEFORE mkfontdir (doh). I'm going back to bed.
Thanks for the kick in the right direction.
Benn
