I am still having problems getting a third party application that ran 
fine on F7 to run on F8.  It is giving me the error below.  I have been 
googling around trying to find further information and I am lost and 
uncertain as to what is legacy and what is current.

- Is there any documentation on what changed with fonts between F7 and 
F8?  I cannot find anything in the release notes but I do seem to 
remember seeing something somewhere.

- Is there a way to get more information from the Xserver about which 
font or color it cannot find?

- When I start xfs, unix/:7100 does not appear in the font path when I 
do an "xset q".  I can manually add it with "xset +fp", but I still get 
the error.


X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  16
  Current serial number in output stream:  31
