Re: Nedit causes fatal error on X server

O.k. I've tried this and can't make it crash here - so I'm gonna need a bit
more info.

Can you do an 'ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1' for me.

Also - what window manager are you using ? olvwm / olwm / dtwm ?

Any thing else you think your doing .....

Alan.
