Re. the 'Files' section of my XF86Config-4 see below ...
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
EndSection
I am not sure how to determine which modules are being loaded ...
~# chkfontpath -l ~# chkfontpath: command not found
Tux:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi# ls ... give me *heaps* of fonts including helvetica and courier Tux:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts# ls 100dpi 75dpi Speedo Type1 encodings fonts.cache-1 misc util
... therefore there are font files in these directories.
Finally, my bootlog includes ...
Thu Sep 18 02:32:08 2003: ^[]RSetting up general console font... findfont: No such file or directory

.. and so on through all /dev/tty*
"Just install more fonts" as one poster suggested is not the answer.
I await your advice.
