Hi everyone,
I have been having some problems with setting up truetype fonts in X.
Searching the web, I have found many resources that guided me to getting the
basic framework in place, however this recent problem has been puzzling me.
My ttf directory exists in /usr/share/fonts/truetype and in that directory I
have created a fonts.dir with ttmkfdir. My XF86Config file has also been
correctly tuned. However, when it comes time to start the X server it
doesn't start. The following is the error that I receive:
---
failed to set default font path
'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc: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/100dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/share/fonts/truetype'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

And here is a quick excerpt of my XF86Config file:
---
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/"
ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
EndSection
---
ps. I am not running any kind of font server, and thus relying on the X
server to do that for me.
Does anyone have an idea as to what might be occurring? Any help is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Emil Soleyman-Zomalan
