1 Hello,
2
3 I have a new install (not an upgrade) of xorg-server (1.5.3-r6) and
4 xorg-x11 (7.2), to which I added xset (1.04) so I can add a font path.
5
6 The fonts in question are in ~/AMRITA/SITE/fonts/TrueType. When I run
7
8 xset fp+ fonts/TrueType
9
10 from ~/AMRITA/SITE I get the following error:
11
12 xset: bad font path element (#23), possible causes are:
13 Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
14 Directory missing fonts.dir
15 Incorrect font server address or syntax
16
17 The permissions on the offending directories are:
18
19 drwxrwxrwx 3 rmason rmason 4096 Nov 4 2003 fonts
20
21 drwxrwxrwx 2 rmason rmason 4096 Nov 4 2003 TrueType
22
23 I have tried with and without xfs.
24
25 If anyone knows how to get this running please help.
26
27 Thanks,
28 Roger
