it is about the xorg-7.4 and the fonts,when you trying to start X,it says it can't found the font "fixed",and if you cat /etc/x11/xorg.conf ,you will find the path are there and the files are there,and after endless <a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/cant-open-default-font-fixed-problem-solvedits-so-silly-685862/#" style="color:blue !important;text-decoration:underline;font-family:verdana;border-top-width:0px !important;border-right-width:0px !important;border-bottom-width:0px !important;border-left-width:0px !important;border-top-style:none !important;border-right-style:none !important;border-bottom-style:none !important;border-left-style:none !important;border-top-color:transparent !important;border-right-color:transparent !important;border-bottom-color:transparent !important;border-left-color:transparent !important;background-color:transparent !important;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;text-transform:none !important;display:inline !important;font-variant:normal" target="_blank"><font color="blue" style="color:blue !important;font-family:Verdana;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;border-top-width:0px !important;border-top-style:none !important;border-top-color:initial !important;border-left-width:0px !important;border-left-style:none !important;border-left-color:initial !important;border-right-width:0px !important;border-right-style:none !important;border-right-color:initial !important;border-bottom-width:1px;border-bottom-style:solid;border-bottom-color:initial;padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:1px !important;padding-left:0px !important;color:blue;background-color:transparent;width:auto !important;float:none !important;display:inline !important">google</span></font></a> won't help,it's a nightmare.<br>
<br>later i found the problem is the font were never there,yes,they appears to be there,but they were empty files,so what the hell is going on?<br>try compile and make,you will find the misc fonts give this :<br>t <filename> | gzip > <filename>.gz<br>
bash:t :command not found.<br>so we get lot of gziped file on the directory and they were all empty.<br>i don't know if it's a bug,it's so silly,i just greped some fonts files from ubuntu and cp it to the path directory,and X worked.<br>
<br>so guys ,be aware,if you have the same problem,check this out.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>And... last question. Which the HECK is "t"??? :S</div>
