Thanks Todd
1.) find the XFree86 font RPM's Find the RPM's, if you have Suse 9.1 CD/DVD it easy otherwise use http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ and search for XFree86-fonts-100dpi-4.3.99.902-40.i586.rpm XFree86-fonts-75dpi-4.3.99.902-40.i586.rpm 2.) Install the RPM's but be careful The installation of the new XOrg X-Server uses the same directory's, don't overwrite them !!!!! The directory's are: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi Relocate the destination of the directory's with this RPM command: rpm -i --relocate /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpiOLD XFree86-fonts-100dpi-4.3.99.902-40.i586.rpm and rpm -i --relocate /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpiOLD XFree86-fonts-100dpi-4.3.99.902-40.i586.rpm now they are together with the "new" font files in the same directory tree. 3.) modifiy the fonts.cache-1 file In the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts there is the file fonts.cache-1 located. Make entry's for the new font directory's like the **OLD entry's below: cat /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/fonts.cache-1 "CID" 0 ".dir" "URW" 0 ".dir" "ibm" 0 ".dir" "uni" 0 ".dir" "misc" 0 ".dir" "util" 0 ".dir" "75dpi" 0 ".dir" "Type1" 0 ".dir" "local" 0 ".dir" "truetype" 0 ".dir" "encodings" 0 ".dir" "75dpiOLD" 0 ".dir" "100dpiOLD" 0 ".dir" "100dpi" 0 ".dir" 4.) Modify the file XF86Config Modify the XF86Config file in the section of the FontPath entry's. Remove the unscaled tag's if there are some (Look at the IBM FAQ's for the unscaled tag and what to do) FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpiOLD" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpiOLD" 5.) Restart the X-Server Good luck! James W
