Subject: Xfree 1.2 SLS font problems.


   I've been experiencing quite a few problems with the fonts in the Xfree 1.2
release. As mentioned in an earlier post one of the fonts has an incorrect
width. And I can't access others. When I run xfontsel it messes the screen
up when I pick the combinations which give it problems. Seyon gives me this
cute error:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-lucida-medium-i-*-*-12-*" to type FontStruct

These lines in my .Xresources file makes the default window text twice as
long as really messes things up:

#define FIXED_FONT_0 -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
#define TEXT_FONT_0 -*-times-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
#define DISPLAY_FONT_0 -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

and these lines in my .twmrc don't work at all:

TitleFont "-*-times-*-*-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
MenuFont "-*-times-*-*-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
IconFont "-*-times-*-*-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"
IconManagerFont "-*-times-*-*-*-*-34-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"

All these things worked flawlessly under xfree 1.0 any help would be greatly
appreciated.

I'm alsonot able to get my graphics Xwin screen back when I switch virtual
consoles. I can switch back to the Xwin console, but it doen't go
back to graphic mode. Thanks.
