The other day I ran mkfontdir since there were some fonts seemingly missing when I ran the corel Wordperfect java thing. After that all the fonts that are being used inside xterms, on title bars etc, are specled and have pieces of the characters missing. At first I thoght that I was getting a scaled font instead of fixed, but the problem shows up if you just echo a line of text into an empty (cleared) xterm. Editing with the fonts work fine in the sence that backspacing does erase the characters, but the characters them selves are only halfway there. Needless to say, this situation makes it very hard to read the text on the screen. Any help would be appreciated.
