Apparently, upgrading to netscape 4.73 botches /etc/X11/fs/config, by pre-pending /usr/X11R6/X11/fonts/75dpi to the fonts catalogue. That would normally be well and good, but it is missing a comma, so my config reads: catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi /usr/share/fonts/windows, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, and fails to load the windows TTFs. Please tell netscape rpm to get out of my xfs. - B
Netscape simply runs chkfontpath, it doesn't edit it directly. Reassigned to chkfontpath.
your /etc/X11/fs/config file must have been in an 'unusual' state before chkfontpath ran, as we have had no other bugreports of this nature. Can you please attach your /etc/X11/fs/config to this report?
