All the fonts for Mandriva are normally stored in:

 

/etc/X11/fs/config

 

file, so presume this is why none in xorg.conf and this file maybe used by x font server.

@ ianw1974: Highly unlikely- this is the configuration file, not the fonts location... only settings' files are stored under /etc

But yes, maybe the xfs config file is bad, or the xfs server not running, for some reason.

As of xorg 6.9+, the only good reason to use xfs is the usage of a networked font repository, and no other (and FontDrake may not work properly- not sure about that).

hi

first of all my xfs server seems to be working

(xfs (pid 3286) is runnung...)

 

2nd I did not add any font paths because there are no folders like /usr/share/fonts/misc in my version

 

and then I tried

service X status

 

and the following was written:

 

...........

.....

Errors from Xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

Synaptics DeviceInit called

Synaptics DeviceOn called

Could not init font path element unix/:-1, removing from list!

....

....

Fatal server error:

could not open default font 'fixed'

FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled"

FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"

FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"

 

If this is from your arch install the fonts may not be located there - I'm currently on a SuSE box and the fonts are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ - I can't remember where Mandriva hold them.

I found where the fonts are hold

/usr/X11/fs/config

 

then took some of then and written in the xorg.conf

and commented the line with the "unix: -1"

 

then tried

service xfs status

and a green OK appeared different than before

however nothing is changed =( other than that
