3DConnexion driver cannot find fonts

Post by mandyatkins »

Hello,
I set up the proprietary drivers for my SpacePilot PRO 3D mouse.

Once I got through all the quirks, I went to start the driver, and got this error message.

Code: Select all

3DxWareUNIX = V1.8.0
Device      = SpacePilot PRO
Firmware    = V4.11
3dxsrv, Error: No suitable fonts (for the device LCD) found!!!
3dxsrv,        Please make sure you have the X11 (75dpi) fonts installed!!
3dxsrv, Exiting.
I then went and installed the specified fonts with the package xorg-fonts-75dpi. However, the driver cannot find the appropriate fonts still.

Additionally, I try and run the demo program, and I get the following error.

Code: Select all

stderr, basicwin: cannot open 9x15 font

No driver is running. Exit ...
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
