Hello, Any xfsft gurus out there? If so, I list the steps I did in quick detail. Please take a look. Becuase I am stuck. Especially take note of step 8. I need xfsft, not xfstt by the way, for Star Office. 1) I had earlier installed xfs (xfsft) and mkfontdir from the xfsft tarball to /usr/X11R6/bin . I once again recopied the new xfs file to /usr/X11R6/bin just to make sure. 2) Check to make sure directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /encodings exists. Yes. 3) Permissions of encodings directory drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 May 23 1999 encodings 4) Permissions of contents -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5840 May 23 1999 README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11118 May 5 1999 adobe-dingbats.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3695 May 5 1999 adobe-standard.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8328 May 4 1999 adobe-symbol.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4255 Jan 13 1999 armscii-8.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5718 Oct 1 1998 ibm-cp437.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5567 Oct 1 1998 ibm-cp850.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5866 Oct 1 1998 ibm-cp852.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5536 Oct 2 1998 ibm-cp866.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3405 Jan 14 1999 iso8859-11.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2748 Mar 26 1999 iso8859-13.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2347 Oct 2 1998 microsoft-cp1250.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4720 Oct 2 1998 microsoft-cp1251.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1168 Jan 9 1999 microsoft-cp1252.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4231 Oct 2 1998 microsoft-cp1253.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1338 Oct 2 1998 microsoft-cp1254.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2777 Oct 2 1998 microsoft-cp1255.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2832 Oct 2 1998 microsoft-cp1256.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3245 Oct 2 1998 microsoft-cp1257.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1521 Oct 2 1998 microsoft-cp1258.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 964 May 5 1999 microsoft-win3.1.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262 Oct 1 1998 mulearabic-0.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1018 Oct 2 1998 mulearabic-1.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1078 Oct 1 1998 mulearabic-2.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2160 Jan 13 1999 mulelao-1.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4058 Jan 13 1999 tcvn-0.enc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2139 Jan 13 1999 viscii1.1-1.enc.Z 5) Put TrueType fons in the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /TrueType All files in small case. I list the contents at the bottom of this email. 6) fonts.dir and fonts.scale in directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /TrueType -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12868 Feb 28 14:01 fonts.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12868 Feb 28 13:54 fonts.scale As a side note, here is how I created the two files: 1. cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType 2. /usr/local/bin/ttmkfdir > fonts.scale 3. mkfontdir -e /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings I saw another HOW-TO that used the line ttmkfdir -m 100 -o fonts.scale Any difference? 7) create file /etc/xfs.conf with contents: #- /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 8) At this point, lets check out if xfsft works: root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > xfs -port 7101 -config /etc/xfs.conf & [1] 1332 root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > ps ax | grep xfs 1332 ?

Try a later start of xfs. S30xdm S75xfs And start init 3. With XDM or KDM.

Hello, Tue, 07 Mar 2000, ÷Ù ÎÁÐÉÓÁÌÉ:
When I do startx I get the error "Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'". At the very bottom, I list all the files in my directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
Any ideas?
I've seen that error also. Yeah, it's all over Deja, but could not find a solution.
I believe the Font Howto mentions some command you can use to check what your fontpath is. I'd suggest, as an experiment, that you reorder the items in XF86Config so that the unix one comes last I even tried uncommenting every Type 1 path, leaving only the path FontPath "tcp/localhost:7101"
(or at least after the unscaled ones) and then start fiddling. The likely cause, as I remember, is either a missing directory in the xfs configuration file or a directory without the fonts.dir or fonts.scale file. The default location for the xfs configuration is
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config
which you can determine for yourself by typing:
strings `which xfs` | grep config Here is what I got:
root@host-name:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts > strings `which xfs` | grep config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config fatal: couldn't read config file couldn't read config file Re-reading config file couldn't parse config file usage: %s [-config config_file] [-port tcp_port] -config CONFIG: error reading configuration file "%s" CONFIG: can't open configuration file "%s" CONFIG: insufficient memory to load configuration file "%s" What does this mean?

Try reversing that: comment out the tcp/localhost path and leave the rest uncommented. You should then be able to start X, but without any TrueType fonts. That will verify that the problem is entirely in the configuration for tcp/localhost:7101.

root@host-name:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts > strings `which xfs` | grep config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config fatal: couldn't read config file couldn't read config file Re-reading config file couldn't parse config file usage: %s [-config config_file] [-port tcp_port] -config CONFIG: error reading configuration file "%s" CONFIG: can't open configuration file "%s" CONFIG: insufficient memory to load configuration file "%s"
What does this mean?
Those are all the text strings within xfs that contain the substring `config'. The apparent error messages aren't error messages as far as you're concerned; they're just strings containing `config'. The only interesting line is the first one, which tells you where the config file is. Have a look at it, and look at the xfs man page to interpret it. The trouble almost certainly lies within that file. Like the man said, ``intuitively obvious to the most casual observer'' <s>.

Hello, <snip>
I even tried uncommenting every Type 1 path, leaving only the path FontPath "tcp/localhost:7101"
Try reversing that: comment out the tcp/localhost path and leave the rest uncommented. You should then be able to start X, but without any TrueType fonts. That will verify that the problem is entirely in the configuration for tcp/localhost:7101. I did this, that's how I am able to startx. Something definitely is not right. I have FreeType installed. I checked. Does xfs (xfsft) need any other packages?
Anyhow, I try starting this server and listing my TrueTypes via the command prompt and it still does not work. I show below what I did. By the way, after doing this, I get the message upon shutdown: <snip> Master Resource Control: Failed services in runlevel 0: xfs
(or at least after the unscaled ones) and then start fiddling. The likely cause, as I remember, is either a missing directory in the xfs configuration file I created a config file and named it /etc/xfs.conf and here are it's contents:
#- /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
directory without the fonts.dir or fonts.scale file. I created the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts /TrueType and create the encodings.dir. fonts.dir, and fonts.scale files. Shown below.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1860 Mar 8 00:05 encodings.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1398 Mar 8 00:05 fonts.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1398 Mar 8 00:04 fonts.scale -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 62804 Mar 8 00:01 georgia.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60268 Mar 8 00:01 georgiab.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 68172 Mar 8 00:01 georgiai.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 69552 Mar 8 00:01 georgiaz.ttf
The default location for the xfs configuration is
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config
Yes, but I let xfs know where the new config (/etc/xfs.conf) with root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > xfs -port 7101 -config /etc/xfs.conf & [1] 1332 then I make sure with root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > ps ax | grep xfs 1332 ? S 0:00 xfs -port 7101 -config /etc/xfs.conf 1334 ? R 0:00 grep xfs then I go to look at my fonts with root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > /usr/X11R6/bin/fslsfonts -server localhost:7101 root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > and I get nothing. Absolutely nothing. I have the FreeType lib installed too. Are there any other programs that I might need to install? This is just weird. I've tried port 7100, 7101, and 7102 in the above lines, and nothing helps. I put the contents of the files fonts.dir , fonts.scale , and encodings.dir at the bottom of this email.

I have a suggestion as to how you go about making the diagnosis. Probably you're starting xfs from your bootup files, which is the usual way to do it. But try killing the xfs process (find its number from ps ax | grep xfs) and then restarting it (as root), using the same startup command you normally do. Then you'll be able to see the error messages right off and also test out other things.

Hello, I set system logging on for the config file for xfsft . At the console, I typed in the line:
/usr/X11R6/bin/fslsfonts -server localhost:7101
I saw this appear in /var/log/messages Mar 10 11:45:53 host-name modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module binfmt-0000 What is it?
