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 "not welcome" to the tyrant X11. Haven't figured out xdm yet, so I installed a "wrapper" and use startx. Can anybody help me figure this one out? I've gone about as far as I can with this one. -- Pb --------------4588BB264561D4D6D0C4CAF8 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> FreeBSD 4.6 with X11 v4.
