There's no ``fonts.dir'' fix generally applicable. The fonts from the `misc' directory have been split among various packages for convenience. That's why you are _supposed_ to run a mkfontdir after installation, and that's what the postinstall.sh script of XFree86 3.2 does. (Only one out of 16 or so possible installation cases will end up with the correct fonts.dir otherwise.) Btw., for those who haven't seen it yet, the new ``XF86Setup'' utility looks really great! Give it a try... hint: you need the VGA16 server installed for it. But it's really worth the while. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
