Hello, I have also ugly fonts after upgrading Xfree86 from 4.1.0-15 to 4.2.1-6. It's not really the same issue, but it's near. I know another person how have the same issue after an upgrade. Before the upgrade, all runs great.
configuration file XF86Config-4 : Section "Files" FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" ... The xfs server doesn't work : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xfsinfo xfsinfo: no font server defined. I can't say if the font server worked before the upgrade or if the font management was done by X. I will search what's wrong in the font mangement. Alexandre Pineau
