Re: setting default font path

["Brian Michael Genisio" <genisiob at pilot dot msu dot edu>]

Ok, I have tried that also.  (That was my first try)  But, there is no
/usr/X11R6 directory.  The fonts are in the same directory as the X server
application.  So, I call :

XWin -screen 0 800x600 -depth 32 -engine 4 -ac -terminate -co rgb -fp
fonts/misc

and get the error :

_FontTransOpen: Unable to Parse address fonts/misc
Could not init font path element fonts/misc, removing from list!

The same is true if I use a path of ./fonts/misc and /xserver/fonts/misc .

However, If I do not set a font path, and make a directory on the machine
called /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, and put the fonts there, The X server works as
planned!!!  Worst case scenario, I can do this, but I would like to try to keep
it confined to a single directory struct.

Thanks!
Brian
