Hello,
Thanks for the replies I got :-)
I have fixed the problem. I don't know exectly what caused this problem, but
after experimenting with some setups I suddently got readable fonts. Sorry
for not being more specific in my initial post about this subject, but I'm
very new to Fvwm.
Regards
/Peter
P.s. Apparently I forgot to write a subject in my initial post, sorry ;-)
