[Eric Van Buggenhaut <ericvb@debian.org>]

Package: xnest
Version: 4.2.1-3
Severity: important

Xnest won't start on my box:

[eric@femto:~/debian/iiwusynth/fluidsynth-1.0.1]$ Xnest :2 -query
192.168.200.1
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing
from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'


Here are the fonts packages I have installed:
