- Hi. I just got Xega, and when I try to run it, I get:
- failed to set default font path '/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc'
- Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
-
- I went into /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc and typed mkfontdir and that
- doesn't help.
- btw: all files except fonts.alias and fonts.dir are compressed in
- this dir. I had Xmono running without problems before this.
- Also /usr/lib/X11 is linked to /usr/X386/lib/X11
-
- Thanks,
- Kirby
