I am having a problem where the X server is intermittently losing most of its fonts. I started seeing this problem a month or so ago.
The X server is running on an etch machine logging in to a sarge machine. Both machines have xfs daemon running. The font path is set to tcp/etchmachine:7100,tcp/sargemachine:7100 All of a sudden after a number of days, most of the fonts disappear. xlsfonts shows only 24: -bitstream-charter-black-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 11 more -bitstream-courier-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1 11 more which, for what it's worth, correspond to the contents of /etc/X11/Speedo/xfonts-scalable.scale on the sarge machine. When this happens, I have tried the xset command with fp= or fp rehash with no effect. The only thing that fixes it is to log off and log back in. After that it is back with all its fonts. Note that the xfs processes on both machines and the X process on the etch machine continue to run through this re-login. I don't see anything unusual in /var/log/Xorg.0.log or ~/.xsession-errors . Nine days ago, I noticed that I was running xorg 7.1.0-16 and there was a 7.1.0-19 available, so I upgraded. I thought this had fixed it, but it happened again today.
