remove the fontpath tcp/localhost from XF86Config. It always happens, never seen any other fix. the fonts are still there in X anyhow. On Sat, 4 Mar 2000, George Zeigler wrote:
Hello, I've installed xfsft according to directions on a HOW-TO. I redid this HOW-TO and put down every single step, command line by command line in getting TrueType fonts working. It can be found in it's current rough state at http://www.firstnethou.com/gz/xfsft_HOW-TO.html
But it's not working! I When I do startx I get "Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'". If I comment out the line FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100" in XF86Config then I can start X just fine.
By the way, this may give a clue.
I did: xfs -port 7100 -config /etc/xfs.conf then just open up another console and do ps ax|grep xfs and I get root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > ps ax |grep xfs 2820 ? S 0:00 xfs -port 7100 -config /etc/xfs.conf 2846 ? S 0:00 grep xfs
which is good. So then I do /usr/X11R6/bin/fslsfonts -server localhost and I get nothing. No fonts, nothing.
Does this mean that the TrueTypes are not loaded? What about the command xlsfonts It list tons of fonts. How do you tell the TrueTypes from the Type 1 ? Is there a way to list just the TrueType fonts?
Any ideas? I don't have Times New Roman, Arial, or Courier in place yet. I have others like Verdana ect though.
