Hello all ...
     
     Can someone please help me resolve some (or all) of these missing 
     fonts?
     
     I get the following messages after running xinit, and then starting 
     
     fvwm and fvwm2 reports:
     can't get font -adobe-times-bold-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
     can't get font -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
     can't get font -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
     
     gwm - reports:
     Cannot find font *-helvetica-bold-o-normal--18-*
     Cannot find font *-helvetica-medium-r-normal--14-*
     Cannot find font *-times-bold-r-normal--18-*
     Cannot find font *-symbol-medium-r-normal--14-*
     
     Later - if I decide to start netscape, I get :
     Warning: Cannot convert string 
     "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
     Warning: Cannot convert string 
     "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
     Warning: Cannot convert string 
     "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
     Warning: Cannot convert string 
     "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
     Warning: Cannot convert string 
     "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
     Warning: Cannot convert string 
     "-*-helvetica-medium-o-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
     
     Thanx in advance.

1)didn't install all the xfnt pkgs
prob forgot the xfnt100 and xfnt70
this pkg are in ./x11 dir 
2)maybe u did install them but exclude them from /etc/X11/XF86Config , look
at the beginning of the file
-------------------------------
one or the other
Good Luck
