Bad Displayed Fonts

I use Slack 9.0 / 2.4.21 with Dropline gnome and all my fonts were OK since I've upgraded my XFree86 file as a person told me on dri drivers mailinglist..
I need to do this to use last version of dri.radeon drivers...

The problem I think is shown in the X log file:

Code:

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/, removing from list!

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled, removing from list!

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueTF/, removing from list!

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/, removing from list!

Some1 has a suggestion to resolve my problem??
TnxVM

The X extensions (modules) that initialize the fonts are not being loaded.

Make sure the following are in /etc/X11/XF86Config to initialize the
scalable fonts, and then restart your X server.

Code:

...

Section "Files"

...

        ModulePath  "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"

...

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

        FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"

        FontPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/"

...

EndSection

...

Section "Module"

...

        Load  "freetype"

        Load  "type1"

        Load  "speedo"

...

EndSection

...

Tnx For yr Time....

All is loaded into Xf86config file:

Code:



Section "Module"



# This loads the DBE extension module.



    Load        "dbe"          # Double buffer extension



# This loads the miscellaneous extensions module, and disables

# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.

    SubSection  "extmod"

      Option    "omit xfree86-dga"  # don't initialise the DGA extension

    EndSubSection

I've noticed that not only the fonts but also the icons are bad displayed too...
Everything on my desktop seems to have a big alias...
Tnx for your help

I have resolved my problem UPGRADING the Slack9.0 xfree package with the Slack 9.1 pkg

xfree-4-3-0-i386-2 ---> xfree-4.3.0-i486-5
xfree-devel-4.3.0-i386-2 ----> xfree-devel-4.3.0-i486-3

Now all works correctly
Tnx to all
