xfontsel 100% cpu

For some reason when I try to run xfontsel I get 100% cpu usage. I can kill it easily no problem. But I can't use xfontsel, which I kind of want to do to look at my fonts.

I have xorg 6.8.0-r3 with kernel 2.6.9-gentoo-r6. My system runs ~x86 with nvidia drivers.

You can try xfontselector. It's more complex than xfontsel.

thanks! that's much better. As it turns out, xfontsel was only staying at 100% cpu for a few moments. I think it was taking a long time to read all my fonts and stuff before it launched.

I'm glad you solved it.
