There was a typo in my desperate message. The problem is that I can’t launch X for all of the reasons I described. If anyone has some ideas, please reply. I’ve got a big project due on Monday and I can’t exactly work on it right now!

Hmm,
I tried to send this once before, but the crazy windows server here at work seems to think I have a new e-mail address. Interesting. As an end result I joined and then got told my message was going to the moderator. So, I’ll try this and see if it gets through without the moderator because I need some help asap!
I just fouled up big time. I was working on making some posters, and decided to download some new fonts. I used kcontrol to install them as administrator. BIG MISTAKE! This screwed things up royally. I can’t launch. I get this as an error:
Fatal Server Error Could not open default font ‘fixed’
I installed the fonts into the directory: /usr/local/share/fonts/TTF
I have tried the following. I deleted them, and ran mkfontdir
Didn’t help.
I pulled out my CD’s and reinstalled all of X with the following command.
rpm –Uvh –force X*
I bumped down to init 3 and then back up to 5 and still the same issue. I even tried linking in the TTF directory.
I don’t know what to do, but I’ve got to get this thing going again. Honestly, even a hack would be appreciated at this point.
PS. Don’t use kcontrol 3.2.1 to install fonts as root. Or you might wind up using a windows machine to beg for help……..
Thanks --andy
