FreeBSD 4.6 with X11 v4. Trying to get some easily readable fonts on X11, particularly on netscape. I installed the urwfonts from x11-fonts ports, but got the unable to open display "" when I ran xset, so I edited /etc/X11/XF86Config to include an entry for .../fonts/URW. Still no apparent difference in appearance, but I noticed that startx pumps out messages like startx: could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW. The same messages appear regarding ../fonts/Type1 and ../fonts/Speedo. X11 has no problem with any other fonts listed in /etc/X11/XF86Config. All fonts listed in the config file have entries in /usr/X11R6/lib/x11/fonts, but apparently URW, Type1 and Speedo are gloogified. Haven't figured out xdm yet, so I installed a "wrapper" and use startx. What's happening to my system?
