Ok, I know you're all tired of hearing about X font problems, but this problem is a bit different and wasn't solved by any of the recently posted solutions.
Ok, I have a woody box (that got sid by accident several weeks ago). I tried reordering the FontPath lines in the X config file. Then I got some messed up fonts in X and the warning that the Type1 and Speedo directories weren't valid FontPaths. The visual problem is that in gnome-terminal, gvim, and x-chat the font is way too big now. (gvim is set in the .vimrc to use the same font as gnome-terminal). It is a lucidatypwriter font (I don't know what x-chat uses). Also, a while back I installed the jmk fonts and xconsole got a nice looking kinda-itallic fancy like font. Now it is back to basic block letters. I tried purging and reinstalling all the xfont packages (gsfonts too) that I have. No change. I tried the alias tweak that Karsten needed but that caused 'fixed' to not be found (ie the original is correct for my machine but not Karsten's modification). I even moved my config out of the way and reran dexconf to build a new config file, but no joy. I have xfs and xfs-xtt but I'm not using them. The log always said that those font entries weren't valid anyways. If anyone has any suggestions left, I'm all ears :-). (Including suggestions for easy to read but not blind-as-a-bat-huge fonts to use instead) TIA -D
