Hey, screen is pretty neat!  I didn't have it, so I grabbed it off the 
GNU distribution set that came with the "Red Book".  It compiled right 
out of the box.

Anyway, when I do startx this is what screen gives me back:

hussar# startx

Screen 0 at 0xfd000020, 640 by 480, 8 bpp, rowB 1024, fbbase 0xfd000020.
failed to set default font path 
'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6
/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fo
nts/100dpi/'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)
hussar#

Where can I set the default font path?  Is that in a settings file, or is 
that something that should have been compiled in?
