I had some font problems a few months ago when I regenerated my
XF86Config-4 file, which set up the fonts section to use a font
server. I removed the font server line (FontPath "unix/:7100") and
haven't seen a problem since.
I'm curious, does that help, or have I just been lucky in avoiding
font problems?
