    I'm trying to upgrade all my XFree86 stuff to the newest versions
(XFree86-3.3.3.1-49a), and get the same arror everytime I install a
font. The error is as follows:
XFree86-75dpi-fonts
##################################################
chkfontpath: bad argument -q: unknown option
execution of script failed
I checked the font directory and found all the fonts installed in the
75dpi directory to be similar to the following: UTI___10.pcf.gz. I
thought that since the expand script failed to execute that I could just
expand the files and all would be well, but all atempts failed to expand
the files. I checked the /etc/X11/fs/config to make sure the font path
was correct the fontpath portion reads:
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
Which seems to be correct, but I'm not sure about the :unscaped,
appended to some of the paths. I tried removing the :unscaled, but that
had no affect when reinstalling the rpm again either. If anybody has any
ideas I'd appreciate the help.
