Some systems (e.g. Ubuntu 12.04) removed the 75- and 100-dpi fonts package from what used to be standard install of X. It may be that Mint did, too. I had exactly the same problem on my Ubuntu 12.04 system. See http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:Ubuntu_12.04 and look for the "default fonts rudely left out" comment. Try adding xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi packages. You may have to xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi to make the X server find the newly installed fonts at first. (It'll find them find after restarting the server, but if you don't want to restart, you may need that command.) -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m] _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
