Actually the problem is that the HP server expects the 100dpi and 75dpi to be subdirectories of a iso_8859.1 subdirectory of fonts. ie in: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/iso_8859.1/100dpi and /usr/lib/X11/fonts/iso_8859.1/75dpi I fixed this by making /usr/lib/X11/fonts/iso_8859.1 be a symlink to /usr/lib/X11/fonts Here is my fonts dir. total 96 drwxr-xr-x 2 root staff 4608 Feb 19 20:17 100dpi drwxr-xr-x 2 root staff 4608 Feb 19 20:18 75dpi lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1 Aug 7 22:19 iso_8859.1 -> . drwxr-xr-x 2 root staff 1536 Mar 5 19:43 misc drwxr-xr-x 2 root other 512 May 22 22:02 sb drwxr-xr-x 2 root staff 9728 Apr 19 17:05 tex cheers mark
