Hi!
I have a problem with a font inside KDE Konsole. Until end of last week I
used Exceed as my primary X server. Then I switched to XFree86 (on Windows
NT).
I start it using XDMCP with the '-indirect' option to get the chooser menu
from a Linux server.
Inside the KDE Konsole the font provided by Exceed is fine but now a
proportional font is used in XFree86.
When I try to choose a better font from the "Custom..." menu I only see
"Tahoma" being the only font offered.
Probably I have to provide some more fonts to the X server?
- From another mail I saw that it is possible to give some '-fp ...' to the
XWin command line; so now I have the following inside startxwin.bat:
start /B XWin.exe :1 -indirect 10.151.4.13 -from 10.151.4.101 -screen 0 1600
1200 -fullscreen -fp tcp/10.151.4.13:7101
10.151.4.13 is the linux server.
10.151.4.101 is my machine.
On port 7101 xfstt is running. No xfs is running on the linux machine
additionally.
But then I get the following fatal error message:
could not open default font 'fixed'
Any idea how to fix this?
