I am running FreeBSD4.7-stable on my laptop and am using XFree863.3.6
because XFree864 is not compatible with my hardware.  I have tried to
install TrueType fonts as described in the handbook online, but keep
getting an error which reads:

unable to set default font, 'fixed'

However, if I comment out the FontPath which points to my TrueType
directory, everything works fine (I also comment out the Module
part).  Can you please help me?
