Does the directory with that fonts.dir file show up in: xset q and is X's .../modules/fonts/libfreetype.so linked against freetype 2.1.0? (It may be a dynamic link w/ the dlloader, but I presume would have to be a static link using the older elf loader.) I was seeing crashes many months ago and stopped using scalable server-side fonts as a result. I found that I didn't need any given that most of the apps I run now use Xft. At that stage I had a cvs version of freetype installed in /usr/lib. Xorg must have been linking against that rather than the version in the xorg tarfile. That is likely distribution-specific behavior, though. -JimC
