Re: Font corruption under XF86 4.0



Are you using the xfs-xtt font server or the xfs font server?  You refer to both.  AFAIK only the xfs font server works with version 4 and to use it you do need unix/:7100 in the front of the font paths.  X starts with the first line and if it doesn't work, it tries the next line, etc.
