I just got another machine up and running FBSD4.4 and installed the lates= t=20 Xfree86 from sysinstall and it was working just great. I then added some=20 other fonts in the ports and added the necessary lines to the XF86Config=20 file. I discovered that the webfonts package is breaking X. If I leave it= in=20 like shown below then I get this message: failed to set font path: (all the font paths listed) fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed' But if I comment it out then X starts just fine. I thought maybe there wa= s a=20 limited number of fontpath lines, so I tried by commenting out anthere li= ne=20 and uncommenting webfonts, but it still broke X. Seems webfonts break X.=20 Anyone else seen this problem? I have 20 fontpath lines.

Can I just copy= =20 these to the TrueType fonts directory? -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
