You'd have to try something like putting `exec X -dpi 100' into your ~/.xserverrc file. Or, the first available fixed-width font is a dot-matrix font.. You might want to try changing the order of font directories in your XF86Config file or your font servers config file (/etc/X11/fs/config, if I remember right). -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ I'm moving to Mars next / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ week.
