I experienced exactly the same, when I first updated the fonts, but
not the Xserver. I had to play around with the Catalogue line until
only the valid paths were listed. Then I updated to XFree86 3.3 and
could restore the previous Catalogue line. So, I think xfs should
be configured fine. Is there any way to make xfs list the fonts it
can serve? In order to check the configuration?
If that's not it, I am still clueless. Should I - maybe - completely
purge X and reinstall it? I'd hate to do it, but if there is no other
way...
Thanks to all,
Andy.
