Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with FONTS under X

[Strong Cypher]

Yeah, try to remove every thing special like glx, compiz and keep only 2d
and default drivers

don't run kde to check your font, shutdown kdm or gdm or *dm, type:

X& DISPLAY=:0 xterm

do you have font ?

xfs is something appear with USE=xfs for xorg-server I think

this is a really good and easy way to use font for xorg, you just say to use
xfs, and xfs find automatically all your fonts

if it still don't work .. tell us
