Hello, OK. I did xfs -port 7101 -config /etc/xfs.conf & ps ax|grep xfs this gives me 1534 ? S 0:00 xfs -port 7101 -config /etc/xfs.conf So then I did /usr/X11R6/bin/fslsfonts -server localhost:7101 I got nothing. Just command prompt. Shouldn't something be shown? <snip>
I assume xfs is the link to xfsft in the /usr/X11R6/bin directory.
What link? Was I supposed to set a link something to /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs ? I directly copied xfs into the directory. Same for mkfontdir . What I did is shown below: B. Install xfsft (You don't need to do 'make'.) 1. cd /usr/X11R6/bin 2. mv xfs xfs.old 3. mv mkfontdir mkfontdir.old (This sets the old files aside, just in case) 4. cp /usr/src/xfsft-1.1.6/xfs /usr/X11R6/bin (the xfs that you untarred is xfsft even though it is named xfs) 5. cp /usr/src/xfsft-1.1.6/mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/bin Did I do this right? <snip>
how does your /etc/xfs.conf look at this time?
#- /etc/xfs.conf - clone-self = on client-limit = 10 # the path to your TrueType fonts catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType # how to log errors use-syslog = off error-file = /var/log/xfsft-errors.log # in decipoints default-point-size = 120 # x, y default-resolutions = 100,100,75,75 <snip>
I feel "fixed" should say something to me, but doesn't. I searched my XF86Config and xfs.conf, no hint.
As an other guess I'd change the port, so. reported trouble with 7100 for the X-fontserver. That involves changing the "port" parameter in /sbin/init.d/xfsft (the script that starts the fontserver) and the entry in /etc/XF86Config. Change that to port 7101.
I edited the line below in the file /sbin/init.d/xfsft sh -c "exec /usr/X11/bin/xfs -port 7101 -config /etc/xfs.conf /dev/null &" I edited the line in XF86Config to FontPath "tcp/localhost:7101" I rebooted. Got the same error about 'fixed font'. I tried ps ax|grep xfs and Igot 466 ? S 0:00 grep xfs My K10xfs and S29xfs files are in place and properly linked.
