as others have said change 7101 to 7100 and everything will be
everything again.

delete this, X don't speak truetype. (not till 4 anyway)

will prevent that from working, this is for security purposes.

this one line nonsense is gross, hard to read, and hard to edit i
changed it to this and it worked fine:
# paths to search for fonts
catalogue = /usr/local/share/fonts/truetype/,
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
much better no?

I did not change anything else in the xfs-xtt config file (yes its
used) and everything works fine it seems, just make sure to deDOSify
the filenames if you raid a BloatNT box.
