Not that this may be a fix for an actual Mandrake problem, but I got this
exact same error on 4 different machines.
I discovered however that in my installation disks that caused the problems.
Even though I burned the ISO's with no errors, I got the fixed font error
message and could not start X. Copying all X config files from a duplicate,
but working machine did not help (it was built with different CD's). I
re-burnt the CD's from a different burner/stack of CD's and all problems
disappeared.
Thought you might want to know, even though thats not a fix if your problem
was caused by Mandrake itself.
