Hello!  Here's another one of my stupid questions.  Whenever I start xload, I
get the strange message "warning: unable to load any usable font set" on
stderr.  It is an Xlib error message that I can't find any documentation of.

Can anyone tell me what originates the message, and what it means?

This is on a NetBSD 1.0A system with XFree86 3.1.1.


Thank you -- Volker


PS: If it's a FAQ please point me to a suitable location, as I haven't found it
mentioned in the X FAQ.
