I de/re-installed all my xorg-related ports, and now I don't have any of the old 6.9 stuff at all However, when trying to start X, I get the dreaded "could not find default font 'fixed'" error. I've looked at every webpage I can find to try to fix this, all to no avail. I've installed font-alias, I've de/re-installed xorg-fonts, all to no avail. In the Xorg.0.log, I noticed these lines: (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc". Entry deleted from font path. (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc"). (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi". Entry deleted from font path. (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"). (WW) `fonts.dir' not found (or not valid) in "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi". Entry deleted from font path. (Run 'mkfontdir' on "/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"). So I ran mkfontdir as directed, and the log warnings went away, but still no luck starting X. Now I notice that the font.dir files in those directories are all empty (just have '0' on the first line). And I also notice this in fonts.alias in fonts/misc: fixed -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 Indeed I can't find (or don't know where it would be) the iso8859 font. So now I ask to you - where does a person get a missing font like this? I would have figured it would be downloaded/installed along with xorg-fonts, but apparently not. What's the best way to fix up my (apparently borked) font installation? Again, I'm mostly a FreeBSD newbie, so turn on your --verbose flags, please.
