I set the path in .Xdefaults to be xconq.IconFont: /misc/Xconq5/lib/xconq.snf (/misc is the NFS mounted directory) and xconq says that it can not open the font. Hmmm says I, what about xfd ? same story. So I moved the fonts to /tmp, shazam it works for both xconq and xfd. Anyone have any ideas why XLoadQueryFont can't open an nfs file? The permissions were all correct (I believe that I have checked all of the obvious problems) -- Can this wait until after I've had my coffee ??? ...{decwrl|ucbvax}!imagen!atari!daisy!turner (James M.
