Sorry for being a pain, guys. Cheers. > > Mark Sargent. Mark, have you tried this: go into the directories /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/* and chmod 644 all the font* files. In tcsh (sorry, don't know bash too well at the moment): cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts foreach d (*) chmod 644 $d/font* end That worked for me when I had the same problem. It seems that one of the fonts.dir files is not by default world readable and so cannot be read by the X server. I don't know why this should be the case though! cheers, ian
