Package: xfonts-base Version: 4.1.0-16 I don't get any errors during installation. When trying to run startx finally I get the following (popular) fatal error:
could not open default font 'fixed' I figured out that there really is no alias for the font "fixed". In /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc there is no fonts.alias file but a fonts.alias.update-new file whose only contents are: !! fonts.alias -- automatically generated file. DO NOT EDIT. !! To modify, see update-fonts-alias(8). I then figured out that there is no alias file in /etc/X11/fonts/misc which should be the reason for update-fonts-alias failing. Regards. Pedram
