Most the apps I use no longer xhost, though they worked fine in FC2. While trying to open filemerge, it opens a window but all of the characters have been replaced by rectangles or crosses, and this warning: Warning: Cannot convert string "-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal- sans-20-0-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct While trying to open an openwindows application, it simply does not even open: XView warning: Cannot load font set '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans- *-120-*-*-*-*-*-*' (Font package) XView warning: Unable to open default font set XView error: Cannot open connection to window server: localhost:11.0 (Server package) I can get some apps to xhost like gnome-terminal. I tried both ssy -X and -Y. Is there some package missing? TIA Marty
