Hi Pete, thanks for responding again. xlsfonts indeed causes a long
printout of what seem to be font names. xset -q indeed shows the path,
/usr/NX/share/fonts,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/home/bill/.fonts
I don't see .xinitrc. But, I don't know what to do with all this. Where
to go next, so to speak.
Thanks. Sorry for being a unix dummy.
Jim
