fonts

[Justin Georgeson]

After recent tribulations getting dual-head setup, I'm noticing some 
font problems. While in the process of setting up to use my AGP TNT2 and 
my PCI voodoo 3 (the trick was to tell the BIOS to use PCI for the 
primary controller, so that both buses would be initialized), X started 
failing to load because it couldn't find the fixed fonts. So I added

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

to the Files section, and that took care of it. But now a few things 
(xmms, for one) are showing odd fonts. I've since added these others to 
the FontPath. The biggest problem, though, is xawtv segfaulting. I still 
have xfs running, and `chkfontpath -l` looks unaltered

$ /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -l

It's like X just can't totally talk to it anymore. The xawtv output is 
below.
