[kmself@ix.netcom.com: Ye old 'fixed' font bug -- solved?]

Not sure if this has been properly addressed or not, but if so, this
would seem to represent an addressable bug.

Please CC on reply.

I just ran across the "cannot find font 'fixed'" on a Woody box running
XF86v4.  I found the following made a difference.

In /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias wsa the line:

    fixed    -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1

Checking with xfontsel, this font wasn't available.  However:

    fixed    -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-100-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1

...works, and provides a 'fixed' font.

Is this the buglet?  Or am I just encountering a new flavor of it?

Peace.
