- I am posting this once again because I think I have a minor
- problem and someone must be knowing the answer!
- I compiled and installed X11R5 here. I had set the Project
- Root to some non-default location. Now while testing almost all
- utilities(xload, xgas, bitmap etc..) works fine but when I try to
- start xinit, it can not find the fonts in the new locations and so
- gives the following error :
-
- Warning: Cannot convert string "helvB14" to type FontStruct
- xterm: unable to open font "courR14" trying "fixed"....
-
- When I run 'xset q' command, it says that the font path is
- /usr/lib.... So it is not looking in the new font directory. Well,
- I think it is not locating the new lib directory at all. Presently
- links in /usr/lib points to X11R4 library. How can I fix my problem
- without replacing these links? On worse case, replacing the links is
- the only solution? And on the worst case, replacing the links will
- solve the problem at all?
