Yes... Tell me, what does xlsfonts -fn "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*" say? If it says nothing, do as root /var/lib/dpkg/info/xfnt100.postinst and then do "xset fp rehash" (as your regular user) and then try the xlsfonts command again. If it still says nothing, try doing killall -1 xfs as root, and then try the xlsfonts command again. If it still says nothing, exit X, start it up again and try xlsfonts once more. (i.e. if using xdm, get back to the login screen and log back in; if using startx then exit X completely and use startx again) If still nothing, then something's really weird; could you tell me what "xset q" has to say about the "Font Path:"? If you get a result with xlsfonts that's not nothing, try running tkdesk again. > >> An other question: > >> I have installed Afterstep, but now I need to get it started, I think > >> .xinitrc or something like that has to be modified, how should I do that > > > >You should modify your ~/.xsession to say something like: > >exec afterstep > > How can I do that with the standard edit ?

Another option is to (as root) move the afterstep line in /etc/X11/window-managers to the top of the list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
