误删字体求救，如何重装fixed等字体？

linuxjerry

我在drakfont里面添加了很多M$的字体，结果有点冲突，网页上某些英文被显示成粗体，我就想把它们卸载，结果操作不慎，删了很多MDK的字体，重启就进不了X了：“Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'”

google得如下解决办法：
问：X-Window启动不了，查看/var/log/XFree86.0.log中有如下错误信息：“Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'”，如何解决？
答：提示信息中说明，由于找不到“fixed”这种缺省的系统字体导致X-Window启动不了。X系统的缺省字体“fixed”系列存放在/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc目录下，只要没有误删这个目录就可以恢复。方法如下：编辑/etc/X11/XF86Config，在“Section ‘Files’”里的“FontPath”段加入以下字体路径定义：

FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"

保存后，重新启动X-Window（startx）即可。
=========================================
但问题是我已经卸载了字体了，上文没有重装字体的方法。我去下载了一些freetype的字体回来装，装了之后还没有这个fixed。我就照着MDK9.0美化方法（顶置贴）想只使用simsun,tahoma两种字体，相应改了一些fonts.conf，还是不行，似乎还在要求这个fixed.后来又装了一些字体，及配置，没有启动成X，不过default font 变成了cursor.
Fatal server error:
could not open default cursor font 'cursor'
如何装原有的字体，请各位指点，
完整的log在这里：

找找xorg-x11-fonts这样的包，第一张盘和第二张盘上都有，全装上。这样应该至少可以进X的。

linuxjerry

没有找到这样的包，因为我是10.0 official
只有：
font-ttf-****-mdk-i586.rpm
和XFree86-75dpi-fonts-这样的包，下载中。。。。
ftp://infonet.ustc.edu.cn/FreeOS ... isk1/Mandrake/RPMS/

下了font-ttf-****-mdk-i586.rpm之类的包，有些装不了（文件下载错误？）其他装了也还有同样的错误。

Help!

X refuses to start and the last entry in the XFree86.0.log is

could not open default cursor font 'cursor'

I have been completely unable to fix this, or to find out what file it is referring to.

Please help

Thanks

How are you for disk space? The times when I have had problems with X loading has been because I have been very low on disk space on the root partition. The first time it happened there had been a huge coredump that had filled up over 100meg  Typing

df -h

at the prompt will give you info on your disk space.

I've got 658 megs free on the root partition.

X keeps trying to start and gets as far as the nvidia logo before it dies and then keeps restarting into infinity until i kill it with /etc/init.d/gdm stop (in between its restarts).

Gah.

Found the problem. A package (xfonts-gimpers) diverted the path for the cursor, and the fonts from the package weren't included in my XF86Config file...

d'oh!

===========================================
我在装了xft2-2.1.1-3mdk.firefly.i586.rpm之后，Fatal error就由fixed变成了cursor，不知道是不是也要添加该包的路径（如何知道它的路径？）到XF86Config？或者卸载该包？

linuxjerry

果然，在XF86Config中添加cursor所在的路径/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/之后，重启就成功进入X了。
好辛苦啊！
