i did restart x... i think the ttfs i have are just iso****-1
not iso****-6 which is the reason why i would guess...

win2k

i meant the xftt server, the truetype server... if i remove the
FontPath "unix/:7101" line that is, i think it would work with
the bad font as it did previously (because that's the only thing
i did new was install the truetype server and install some ttfs
from my win2k directory).
