Nn... I get the following error:

[root at localhost Sunnan]# Xnest -geometry 640x480 :1
failed to set default font path '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

I hope this is a really silly problem that'll take 2 mins to solve?
