RE: New User

Logged in as root
first all, run this command:
chkfontpath


Check if the directory contains the files 'fonts.dir' and 'fonts.scale' and if they actually contain the font lines for the X server. If they don't, (make sure ur logged in as root) then..

Run command:
ttmkfdir > fonts.scale

The 'ttmkfdir' command is part of the 'freetype-tools' RPM.

If you've got fonts which are slightly broken
then enter command:
ttmkfdir -c -p > fonts.scale

then enter command:
mkfontdir

Still logged as root..
Run command:
xset fp rehash


and finally.. :)

Run command:
service xfs restart

Now, this is a possability, never said it'd work :wink:

You can also use (if you use KDE) Kontrolcenter->Systemmanagment->Fonts
