I think you can interpret is as a question. Does xedit work for
you ? Here it just segfaults at startup. If yes, maybe I should
install the encodings and fonts to see if I can reproduce it.
Yesterday I compared the contents of both packages with my
Linux fonts and didn't see any differences, so the only
difference is the symlink to the XFree86 fonts directory of my
Linux partition and the read-only flags.

I didn't know about it. I just read the descriptions and
installed what I thought I'd use. Anyway, I'm not going to
install XFree86-lib-compat just to run it, what I'll consider
if I need other applications.
