xorg X11 server

Well I hope someone has encountered that problem before.
After upgrading my Linux book which now uses the X Server from xorg. I
run unto trouble starting the IDE the messages is:
Error: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)

I tried to remove all the config files all the Xdefaults etc, but
still have problems with this message. How can I figure out what the
system is looking for and how can a get around this problem?

Regards
Friedrich


Re: xorg X11 server

Ok, Jürgen has provided me with a working Xresource file, but not the
following happens if I go to Listener->Preferences->Font and click on
select font I got this error message again.

would be nice if it would be able to use the font dialog again...

Regards
Friedrich

Hmmm, Ubuntu probably runs a font server, so I'm not sure, but you could
try to give unscaled fonts high preference in your configuration file.

I have the following (this is XFree86, but should be the same format in
xorg, AFAIK which works fine with LW:

        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
        FontPath     "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
