Paul,

   The last file printed before the traceback is
/usr/share/fonts/atmfonts/kidsm.afm. When I mv that to Xkidsn.afm it still
shows up. I'm also seeing the same error in a number of other atmfonts. Some
in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/atmfonts, which is a soft link to
/usr/share/fonts/atmfonts, and other errors in the soft links in
~/.fonts/atmfonts.

   Would you like a copy of kidsn.afm?

Thanks,

Rich
