I have a problem in starting up X on my Sun, knowing very little about
X windows I created the following files:
.Xresources (and .Xdefaults)
.xinitrc

then I tried
% xinit -geometry 80x34+0+0 -display "${host}:0.0" -fn screen11 -w 2 -sb -sl 1000 -n login
and got the following errors:
# start error
main: Could not open default font 'fixed'
main: Could not open default cursor font 'cursor'
X Error: font or color name does not exist
  Request Major code 45
  Request Minor code
  ResourceID 0x200003
  Error Serial #17
  Current Serial #19

waiting for server to terminate
# end error

I checked fonts directory and screen11.snf is in local directory.

What is going on ?

Thank for all your assistance.
