The error message says:
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
I have the 70dpi and 100dpi fonts installed and have confirmed this. And =
it continues to fail.
I went through the .Xdefaults and delete references to 'fixed' for =
fonts.
And still they have failed.
What fonts is it trying to look for? What should I do to correct the =
problem.
Help will be appreciated.
