- The XFree86 1.1 server checks the font path more thoroughly if you
- set it in your Xconfig than if you use the default. Try setting it:
-
- FontPath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
-
- and see if that helps. We are working on improving this for the next
- release. Rich
