Thanks. I tried the dpkg-reconfigure, to no avail. Here's how it set
my font info:
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/CID"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/CID"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
EndSection
It's missing a couple of lines you mentioned, but seems to be relying on
the font server, but I don't see it running in ps...
Thanks,
