i'm not sure what i did wrong. i just made the xfs startup script work without warnings again and all of a sudden my fonts are borked. Eterm gives me: nt@eNTi $ Eterm Eterm: Error: Unable to load font "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1". Falling back on "fixed" Eterm: Error: Unable to load font "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-p-56-iso8859-1".
