Ok, forgive my newbieness, i am not so very well versed in the ways of linux.
i am still on my first serious year of use. i did xset to my vnc (1.0) i
think?
and to the main one which is logged in from the local system.
Local System: startx
Colors:
default colormap: 0x20 BlackPixel: 0 WhitePixel: 65535
Font Path:
unix/:7100
vnc: localhost:1
Colors:
default colormap: 0x21 BlackPixel: 0 WhitePixel: 16777215
Font Path:
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/local/bin/share/fon
ts/type1,/usr/local/bin/share/fonts/75dpi
I picked out the two areas of intrest. If other info would be usful let me
know.
So, do i have to make the two font path's look similar? thanks again guys,
linux hacking is just alot to learn :p
