Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
What is the default font 'fixed'? Name?
In which dir it suppose to be?
I'm running RedHat 4.1, kernel 2.0.30, MetroX.
Thanks,
Pavel

/usr/lib/X11/Metro/fonts/misc/
You ought to have these files:
6x13.pcf.Z cursor.pcf.Z fonts.alias fonts.dir helvB12.pcf.Z
The fonts subdir on your system ought to be:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
There's another fonts.alias in there, too.
I don't know much about fonts, but the above should get you
started. If you don't have'em, install'em.
