Hello,

I have a computer with Mandrake 10 official (with all
updates) and XFree 4.4 and NVIDIA drivers. 

I installed some true type fonts from Konqueror and
restarted X, now X will not start. It first complained
that something was wrong with the font directories and
that I should run mkfontdir on /usr/local/share/fonts
and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. I ran mkfontscale (I
considered that was also necessary) and mkfontdir and
now X complains that it:
Could not init font path element
/usr/local/share/fonts, removing from list!
Could not init font path element
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

How do I correct this?

Thanks,
Peter
