I'm having some trouble with some adobe fonts (at least I think that's it). Anyways the errors received are

Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-courier-bold-r-*--14-*-*-*-m-*-*-*" to type FontStruct

I went looking for those files to see if I could symlink a 14 one to either the 15 one or the other ones, but I couldn't find the files anyways. I get this when attempting to run an X windowed program (qmon) and it crashes out while printing the first set of errors.

I believe it was xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi that were missing which was causing the problem. I'll test that theory later on another box that has a similar config to this one. Marking as solved in any case.

I just installed xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi and still get the same error. (Running natty in vbox machine.)
