There is something weird happening with my RealPlayer. Everthing worked
fine in the past but when I started RealPlayer 7 today there are no

letters and numbers.

This happened to me. I fixed it, bizarrely, by removing all FontPaths from
my XF86Config except for FontPath "unix/:7100", putting them in my xfs
config instead, and running xfs.
In /etc/XF86Config-4 I commented the FontPath lines out.
...
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled"
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config looks like this:
# font server configuration file
# $Xorg: config.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:19 cpqbld Exp $
# allow a maximum of 10 clients to connect to this font server
client-limit = 10

Is that right? It didn't do anything - still same effect.
One more thing:
When I enter 'X -version' I get:
XFree86 Version 3.3.6 / X Window System
That means that I'm using XFree86 in the 3.3.6 version? I'm on a laptop
so I need that xserver-svga package (for NeoMagic cards)
But it is only available in 3.3.6-38. Therefore does it do any
difference when I edit /etc/XF86Config-4 since I'm not running XFree
4.x.x ?? But all the other packages relating to X are 4.1.x!!
ii xserver-common 4.1.0-7 files and utilities common to all X
servers
ii xserver-common 3.3.6-38 files and utilities common to XFree86

ii xserver-svga 3.3.6-38 X server for SVGA graphics cards

ii xserver-xfree8 4.1.0-7 the XFree86 X server

ii xfonts-base-tr 4.1.0-9 standard fonts for X (transcoded from

...
ii xfs 4.1.0-9 X font server
Sorry for these somewhat stupid questoins. But I don't know how to fix this.
Thanks for your patience.
