The above is not the default font. Here I run xlsfonts with that pattern: > xlsfonts -fn -*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-100-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-100-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-100-100-100-c-60-iso8859-8 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-14 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-15 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-2 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-5 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-7 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-8 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-9 -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-koi8-r -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-94-100-100-c-0-iso8859-1 So, in my case, the font used is the first one. > with NO errors on start up and rendering the correct characters.

I don't see much point to the message printed. I get it myself and it's not telling me anything I want to know. Currently it just prints the first 5 times it fails, then shuts up. That message should probably only print when "printinfo locale" is 1 or 2... -- Dan Espen
