OK, tried that.  Got the same error.  I had deleted everything under fonts.
I left /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts  , but left fonts dir empty.

maybe I'll try using cpin in the installer mini shell to copy the file to
BSD and then expand it in there.  Are there any particular flags to the
xtar command I should be aware of when I do this?

The fsck -fy turned up nothing.

thanks,
roger
