Hi, and welcome to LQ!

Tell us what distro you're using, and from where you're running that command.

Delete your /home/username/.fluxbox folder and try it again

I cross compiled fluxbox and X11 for arm-linux and im running it on emb-linux target device.
i even tried by deleting /.fluxbox folder and the result is same.
can somebody tell me how to make the X server support locale.

I don't know how you run it, but I cant run fluxbox directly from console by running startfluxbox. I can however start a failsafe X and run startfluxbox. Try entering this:
#!/bin/bash
exec fluxbox

iside your .xinitrc (Backup old one)
and run startx instead.

thanks the problem is solved

Hi! How did your problem got solved?

The Fonts error got solved by removing .fluxbox folder and then copying a fresh .fluxbox folder
The locale error got solved by re cross-compiling X11 (may be locale folder was missing in X11R6 folder)
