I did mess around installing some fonts last week but don't think it is related... I just added some .ttf files to /usr/share/fonts/ttf/ But today I notice that all X apps seem to be unable to find any fonts. What is missing? Please help! thanks ===== $ xterm Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font xterm: unable to locate a suitable font $ xconsole Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Segmentation fault $ xfontsel Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Error: Aborting: no font found $ rpm -qa | grep xorg | grep -v drv- xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-xauth-1.0.1-1.2 xorg-x11-utils-1.0.1-1.2 xorg-x11-drivers-7.0-2 xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.0-6 xorg-x11-font-utils-1.0.1-3 xorg-x11-xfs-1.0.1-4 xorg-x11-fonts-truetype-7.0-3 xorg-x11-xdm-1.0.1-1.2 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-xkb-utils-1.0.1-1.2 xorg-x11-xkbdata-1.0.1-7 xorg-x11-filesystem-7.0-1 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-apps-1.0.1-2 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.fc5.1.1 xorg-x11-server-utils-1.0.1-1.2 xorg-x11-xinit-1.0.1-2 xorg-x11-twm-1.0.1-1.2 xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-base-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.0-3
