You should not "start" or "restart" it. You should "reload" it. Restarting it will break the connection between the X server and the fonts server, IIRC. Anyway, in such a case you should probably switch to a different termianl on your system (remotely through ssh, a console) and rn something like: export DISPLAY=:0 xset -fp unix/:7100 xset +fp unix/:7100 (I figuer that for that elemt '+fp' is better than 'fp+' but it shouldn't really matter). -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
