Message-ID: <481@kaos.MATH.UCLA.EDU> Date: 4 Oct 90 01:31:21 GMT Sender: news@MATH.UCLA.EDU Reply-To: edward@MATH.UCLA.EDU (Edward Dergharapetian) Organization: UCLA Mathematics Department Lines: 22 Hi-- I just finished compiling the X11R4 server on our DECstation 5000/200, and much to my displeasure got the following message when I started xinit. failed to set default font path '/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/local/lib/X 11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/' Fatal server bug! could not open default font 'fixed' XIO: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) on X server "(null)" after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining. The connection was probably broken by a server shutdown or KillClient. All of the font directories are world-read/searchable, and I ran mkfontdir on all of them. Anyone have any ideas? Please e-mail them to me. Thanks, edward.
