[Xastir] FW: xfontsel

[Joseph LaFerla]

OK Curt,

I had not started any configs so it was easier to delete the .xastir directory and restart xastir from the /usr/bin/local directory.  This time I did not get any errors (!).  When I go to Map Chooser, I see two online directories and I chose geogratis.gc.ca but the map does not display.  I see stations but no map.  I looked in the map folder and there are maps in there.

-or-

If you're just getting started and haven't done a lot of Xastir config'ing yet... Delete your ~/.xastir directory, then re-start Xastir. It will rebuild that directory with the correct paths for your new install.

You could also rename .xastir to .xastir-save or similar and restart Xastir, then copy bits and pieces from your .xastir-save/* files into your .xastir/* directory as needed.
