X is fine -- but there is no fonts!

[tminos]

apt-get install xserver-xfree86 downloaded and installed XFree4.0.2-1 but... there is just one problem.

'Could not open default font `fixed''

I have no fonts!

What do I do to download these fricking things I need? I though X was supposed to come with a few itself....

Check to make sure the font path is correct in XF86Config and check the actual directory where the fonts reside.

I did, but they weren't there. I had to
download xfree86-base-fonts or something or
like. I thought that X would come with a
few. Guess I was wrong.

apt-get install task-x-window-system-core

that should download all the fonts included with X (xfonts-100dpi xfonts-base etc..).
