Still looking for "could not open default font > 'fixed'" solution. I'm googling like a wild man to find it! :) Ric ---- xset -q seems pretty normal to me (considering that you don't show font paths for any user sessions). could not open default font "fixed" sounds like a problem that occurs because Fedora moved the X11 font paths a few distributions ago and I think I fixed that with a symbolic link. I can't tell you where because my desktop at work is currently turned off and I can't check it but I think it was something like making a symbolic link... ln -s /usr/share/X11/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 Craig -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
