I have had this machine running for about a month now, so I have rebooted a few times.
That solved my problem though. Thanks a lot for responding so promptly Mark.
I looked at /etc/rc.fix and I read it as follows: For (every directory in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/) { if (fonts.dir is missing) { run mkfontdir; run mkfontscale; } { So adding more fonts to an *existing* directory in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ will *not* trigger mkfontdir and mkfontscale.. On the flip side, if a *new* directory is added in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/, then mkfontdir and mkfontscale will run in that directory. The mkfontdir man page says the first line in fonts.dir is the number of fonts in that directory. So, could we simply check to see if the number of fonts in the directory has changed, and if so, run mkfontdir and mkfontscale? (I must say I know almost nothing about scripting, so perhaps I'm completely wrong with everything I've said) Chris
