- I had the same problem. Actually X is looking for a font named
- "Fixed". "Fixed" is aliased in the misc directory as 6x13, in the
- fonts.alias file.
-
- Why this error seems to crop up, seems to be that X is trying to set the
- path to "/usr/X386/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" in the font path, when Speedo
- doen't exist. When I took this path out and kept the
- "...fonts/misc/,...fonts/75dpi/" it ran.
