I tried making the font.alias file, didn't work. I saw that the
FontServer wasn't installed (dunno if it's needed or not), so I
installed it, started it, still didn't work. Here's a snip of my config
file (the stuff that I think may be relevant) (BTW...this is X v.4):
Section "Module"
# This loads the DBE extension module.
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables #
initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA
extension
EndSubSection
# This loads the Type1 and FreeType font modules
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
# This loads the GLX module
# Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
# The module search path. The default path is shown here.
# ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
EndSection
There ya go guys. Any more ideas based off that?
Thanks a bunch,
--Brian

Let us take a look at your /etc/X11/XF86Config (or XF86Config-4) file.
Manually editing this file may help you out
You also might want to perform a search on the web for Freebsd systems
that offer the same PC specs as your computer.
Just post a snippet of your XF86Config file...you should be able to get
closer to the heart of the problem
Cheers
