Yes, both packages are installed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] glenn]$ rpm -qa | grep dpi XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3-8.2mdk XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3-8.2mdk I've discovered by experiment that adding the missing lines in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/fonts.cache-1 for the non-scaled fonts, viz., "100dpi" 0 ".dir" "75dpi" 0 ".dir" fixes the problem. I've been digging, and it looks like the program 'fc-cache' (part of fontconfig) is supposed to maintain this file, and the other font-cache files in the font directory. But I haven't been able to find any documentation on it yet. There are notes in mailing lists that indicate that one can force the files to be updated with 'fc-cache -fv', but I'd like to find some documentation before trying it. I think that when I applied updates to the system, one or more of the XFree86 packages didn't force an update during post install. There were so many updates to 9.1, and I've applied most all of them, especially all the XFree86 updates.
