From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060614 Fedora/1.5.0.4-1.2.fc5 Firefox/1.5.0.4 pango-text Description of problem: I have installed FC5 with a minimum text-based install and added packages as I have needed. Everything works, except blackbox will not load any XFT fonts. I have installed all dependents using only the YUM manager for xorg-x11-server, xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 and xorg-x11-fonts-Truetype. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): blackbox-0.70.1-4.fc5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install minimal FC5 using text-based installer 2. Yum update/install needed items 3. Attempt to configure XFT fonts in Blackbox styles files Actual Results: Only the built-in FIXED font is used. Expected Results: Fonts follow style files Additional info: Here are all of the font related rpms which I have installed: [root@ckr-1 ~]# rpm -qa|grep -ir font fontconfig-2.3.94-1 xorg-x11-font-utils-1.0.1-3 urw-fonts-2.3-6.1 fonttools-2.0-0.6.20050624cvs.fc5 libXfont-1.0.0-2.2 chkfontpath-1.10.1-1 xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.0-3 bitmap-fonts-0.3-5.1 ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13.1 mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.lvn5 xorg-x11-fonts-truetype-7.0-3 bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-5.1 libfontenc-1.0.1-1.2 libXfontcache-1.0.1-1.2 xorg-x11-fonts-base-7.0-3 [root@ckr-1 ~]#
Are you able to reproduce on a non-minimal installation? Say, where GNOME works, try blackbox and see... Otherwise, try "yum list 'xorg-*' and see if any of the non-installed packages could be relevant in order to fix the problem.
Thanks for the reply. I have switched-back to TWM with all decorations turned-off using the following: [chris@ckr-1 ~]$ cat /usr/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc NoTitle RandomPlacement DontMoveOff Button1 = m4 : all : f.move Button2 = m4 : all : f.resize "q" = m4 : all : ! "xterm -en UTF-8 -ls &" "w" = m4 : all : ! "firefox &" "e" = m4 : all : ! "xterm -en UTF-8 -e 'echo; echo; date +\"%A %D ~ %T %Z\" && echo; echo; cal -3 && echo; echo; acpitool && sleep 5' &" "d" = m4 : all : ! "xterm -en UTF-8 -e top &" "c" = m4 : all : !

Cheers.
Resolving as DEFERRED then : Until someone who might have the same issue wants to reopen it and investigate further.
