ianw1974 Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) @ 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).

Guest reyhaN Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 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' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 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.

Guest reyhaN Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
