could not open default font ‘fixed’

I was playing around with DVDRip on my new Mandriva 2006 install and ran out of space while trying to get the GUI of DVD Rip installed. The system hung and when I rebooted I received the following error:

Could not init font path element unix/:1, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font ‘fixed’

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support
at http://wiki.X.Org
for help.
Please also check the log file at “/var/log/Xorg.0.log” for additional information.

After some searching I found out the problem was with my Font Server not being found, as a result I was receiving the error

Could not init font path element unix/:1, removing from list!

So after tring to reinstall fonts and the font server I ended up manually putting in the Fontpath in my xorg.conf file. I found this info at the Xorg wiki. p.s. this is the recommended way now.

I replaced

FontPath "unix/:1"

with

FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
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/"

Also as a result of this I was trying to force the reinstall of different rpm’s with urpmi and noticed it did not have a reinstall flag. I ended up using the following.

rpm -e --nodeps --justdb PACKAGE_NAME; urpmi PACKAGE_NAME
