Hi,

I am trying to connect to XServer using Xnest as follows :

> Xnest :1 -kb -terminate -name -query <X_SERVER_IP> -geometry 1280x969 -fp tcp/<FONT_SERVER_IP>:7100

but I can only see a blank window which vanishes within a fraction of a second.
The error I see is : "could not open default font 'fixed'".

Now, if I use,

> Xnest :1 -kb -terminate -name -query <X_SERVER_IP> -geometry 1280x969 -fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cursor/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/arkpandora,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

Then I can successfully connect to X and can see Xnext login window.

Now, if I run the first command again then this time it works fine without any error.

Is there any reason why it did not work if I tried only FONT_SERVER_IP:7100 before specifying all the font paths and it worked after specifying font paths?
