I've sent mail but will post too in case someone else has the same problem. You need to run "mkfontdir /home/aries/emery/XCONQ/lib" to create fonts.dir and fonts.alias files. X uses that to find the fonts it need. You might also need to run 'xset fp rehash' to force X to reread the fonts directories. -- Tin -- .---------------------------------------------------------------------- .
