Hi all,

I had a look on those 2 files in /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/misc/

font.dir
...
7x14.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1
...

font.alias
7x14         -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-130-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1

I'm not an expert, but I thing there is something curious... one time we
speack about iso10646 (I'don't have any file containing this name in
font dir) and an other time we speak about iso8859.
This is true ofr this line, but for many others.

Note that I can't start X saying that -coud not open default font
'fixed'- that's why I had look in those file.

I've found 6x10 font where isoXXXX where the same in both files. So I've
modified startxwin.sh with Xwin.exe -fn '6x10' ....

X doesn't start error message is : -coud not open default font '6x10'-


Those files seems to be created by Xinstal.sh

Can I make any ohter test?

Thanks

Luc
