Re: startxwin.sh doesn't start, getting "could not open default font 'fixed'" error

[Jerome Fong <jfong at successmetricsinc dot com>]

Yes, that is where I got the "umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts" command 
from.
However I get the following error when I attempt to un-mount the directory:

$ umount /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
umount: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts: No such file or directory

thanks,

Jerome
