Yep, files were present.

Tried switches -fn an -fp, what leads to:

Fatal server error:

Yay, I altered the Error! So, I checked: Path was correct, Font was present... why can't Xephyr use it?

I tried with several fonts and paths, to the same result

Next, I tried

Spoiler:

[root@kindle bin]# xfd -fn "fixed"
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

Obvously, there is no font named "fixed" on my KPW?

BTW: In my /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc, there are only three (3) files:
fonts.dir, cursor.pcf and emptycursor.pcf
Is this default, or are fonts missing?

Fumbling a bit with sylpheed, it misses "libsasl2.so.2". I found some in online-Repos, but Sylpheed moans, that they're too short... Like my wife...
