    I'm getting an error when gdm attempts to start and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    shows:

    Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'

    How do I tell which font it's trying to load? I thought it might be
    xorg-fonts-miscbitmaps but that's already installed. This is a FreeBSD
    5.3-RELEASE box with stock kernel.

    Thanks.
