Looks like I hosed the fontpath, or something, when installing plugins for mozilla. Installed Flash and the JRE from Sun, and mplayer, and the msttcorefonts rpm. I went to a site with a java applet _before_ restarting mozilla (by mistake) and it hung - I killed it and on restart, all I get is $ mozilla --sync The program 'mozilla-bin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'. (Details: serial 681 error_code 15 request_code 45 minor_code 0) ...... Now, other apps besides mozilla give similar errors on startup, but not as verbose. I switch profiles and users and it makes no diff, everything is coming up BadName. I am playing with strace now but can't find the exact open() that is causing this problem. /etc/fonts directory has not been touched, but I did restart xfs. Also removed all the rpms installed today, and removed all fonts.cache-1 files. # /usr/sbin/chkfontpath --list \Current directories in font path: 1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled 2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled 3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled 4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc 5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo 7: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic 8: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF 9: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 10: /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript 11: /usr/share/fonts/bitmap-fonts 12: /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera 13: 14: /usr/lib/openoffice/share/fonts/truetype So can anyone tell me what I broke? pleease?
