Yeah, that's true, but at least they released a quality product.

Ob-Linux-Q:
First, kudos to Marc Hoffman for Xega. It's pretty neat running X on my
piddly little laptop! Everything I've seen seems to work extremely well.
Except...
...them damn fonts. I know there was a posting a short while back on how
to set the default font, and how to change the fonts for xterms (and other
programs that allow different fonts), but I'm having no luck.
I've set FontPath to include both the misc and 75dpi fonts. I've tried to
start an xterm specifying -fn courR10 (maybe it was some other point size -
I can't remember off the top of my head), but it says something like "can't
find font courR10, using font fixed." Of course, xset fp=/fontpath is a
dandy way to define your fontpath for other implementations of X, but xset
is not to be found on my system. Do I have an early version (it says v1.1)
or incomplete release of X?
If I could just get this one little silly problem out of the way, I promise I
won't ask *anyone* *anything* about Xega for at least a week!
Please reply via email unless you feel lotsa other folks are having the same
problem.
Thanks,
--Brian
