Hi all,

I tried your issue, but I'm getting a font error.
When i'm setting the new fonts with xset, I'm getting this on client side :
[code]
xset: bad font path element (#87), possible causes are:
Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions
Directory missing fonts.dir
Incorrect font server address or syntax
[/code]

and this on server side :
[code]channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused[/code]

Does I need to create a .font folder in my ~ or something else ?

A bit late... ;-) On Ubuntu 8.10 (and probably many other releases) the X Font Server is not installed by default, making xset +fp tcp/localhost:7100 fail. To install it:

apt-get install xfs

Next, to enable TCP networking:

sudo vi /etc/X11/fs/config

Here find, and comment-out, the line no-listen = tcp. Finally, restart the font server:

sudo service xfs restart
