I wasn't going to post this until another person had the same problem in the irc so hopefully this helps others. I ran a dist-upgrade and afterwords gdm (other person ran kdm) and X would not load. After looking at the error logs I realized it was a problem with fonts not being found. I tried running the fix-xorg7.sh script (which ran fine on my other computer) and it wanted to remove alot of vital programs such as: amarok, gdm, kopete, gtk, etc. (Yes, I know it's not supposed too, but I restored and tried 3 different times and it was the same result). So I manually redid the symbolic links of: 100dpi, 75dpi, encodings, & Type1, from directory /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ to /usr/share/fonts/X11/ . And presto, everything works perfectly again. Hope this helps 
Cheers,
Mike |

Great!
Would be nice if somebody could confirm that's the way we should do it, because everybody has the problem with missing directories when doing fix-fonts.
Could you please adjust the title of this thread so that it can be seen it's about missing font-directories or fix-fonts, so everybody can see what the thread is about and you found a solution.
Thanks

hubi,
if fix-xorg dont do it, the way Mike did it, is ok. You could set a symlink as well.

When you've fixed it, could you please add the script you used here. I already appear to have all 75dpi and 100dpi fonts in /usr/share/fonts/x11/etc but still get the error.

You don't need a script, just add a symbolic link for those directories in you /usr/lib/X11/fonts.
# su
# cd /usr/lib/X11/fonts
# ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi 100dpi
# ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi 75dpi
# ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/encodings encodings
# ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1 Type1
after that, your errors should be gone and if you had the dist-upgrade problem, you should now be able to enter X.
Cheers,
Mike |

Question to all!
Just an idea, but I am an illiterate at this question:
/usr/lib/X11/fonts is a symlink itself and points to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts.
Question:
should /usr/lib/X11/fonts not point to /usr/share/fonts where all my fonts are and not to the "old" target? Looks to me like a change from Xorg6 to Xorg7. But I am not sure if I am right.

In my setup /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts has the same symbolic links in it as I told you to put in /usr/lib/X11/fonts. So both directories should point to /user/share/fonts/X11/ with the directory names I listed above. Does that anwser your question?
Cheers,
Mike |

Great! That's the answer. My /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts was no symlink, the fonts were in there. So linking to /user/share/fonts/X11/ is the answer I was looking for.
Last puzzle solved, thanks
