Re: Fonts loading problem with X

[oz@bluemonk.de]

Hi,

as far as I know, the font "fixed" belongs to misc, 100dpi or 75dpi. So 
try loading these fonts before the truetypes.

        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/local/share/fonts/ttfonts"
