I've just installed mathematica on a linux + Xfree86 4.02 system, and am getting font path errors. I've added the path to the Mathematica Fonts/X and Fonts/Type1 directories to my xfs config file. The former seem to be read okay (according to xlsfonts they are loaded) though Mathematica still complains that it can't find fonts, but when I add the latter, I get the errors: X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont) Serial number of failed request: 101 Current serial number in output stream: 104 Furthermore, adding the Type1 line seems to be messing up the fonts in other applications which I am using. I have downloaded the new Type1.tar.gz fonts available from the Wolfram site (according to their support pages, the original Type1 fonts included with Mathematica 4.0 were buggy), but this does not solve the problem. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Denis.
