Hello All, *** Fatal server error: *** could not open default font 'fixed'
This is the message (without the stars) I get on a laptop after a fresh install of FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE i386 (previously 6.0). Searching the archives, I found two reasons which do not apply for me: 1. xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps-7.2 is properly installed 2. the same is true for font-alias-1.0.1 A good reason in my case seems to be: all fonts.dir files are empty. Running ``mkfontdir [-e encodings/] misc/'' creates always an empty fonts.dir file, but with the '-e' option a correct encodings.dir file. Conclusion: mkfontdir appears to be broken, or rather mkfontscale as the former is just a single-line shell script. xorg-7.2, xorg-fonts-7.2 and all the rest are properly installed. The instructions of the 20070519-section in UPDATING have successfully been executed. Fortunately, lynx and elinks work alright. Needless to say that I've portupgrade'd both mkfontdir and mkfontscale with the '-f' option, and that my ports tree is portsnap'ed up-to-date. What else could I do to find the bug ?
