[R] "X11 font at size 16 could not be loaded"

[Laurent Gautier]

I think the problem comes from your X server (my wild guess is that
you tried Xfree4.something)

The modifications posted some time ago on this list seem to
work (in reply to the very same problem) still...

In your file /usr/X11R6/XFree86config, you will discard the "unscaled" statements in the 'fonts' section
(make a backup of XFree86Config before experimenting)


Hopin' it helps,


Laurent
