It looks like something tried to put ttf-bitstream-vera as the foundry field, which is wrong. (Note that your font spec has 16 fields, rather than the usual 14.) Does it work fine without xfstt? Modern XFree86, including what's in woody, can natively handle TrueType fonts without an external font server. FWIW, my Bitstream Vera fonts look more like -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1 which is much closer to what I'd actually expect. (On sid, without using any X font server at all.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
