Jim, I ftpd the file over to ~ldm/chiz/Xvfb. I launched and received the same "fonts" medssage you did. I noticed that you are not running an X server currently on the system. That is the primary difference in our set up. We have xdm running the X server for the normal user logins. Xvfb is the virtual display to draw graphics to in the background. Have tou tried launching Xvfb when you have an X server running on the machine as 0:0? Is there a reason you are not setup to use xdm?
