And according to yumex, there are bitmapped fonts of 9x15 installed here.

This did not seem to effect the font error. But let me log out and back in,
that might refresh things for that terminal/shell. No, still the same. Or
am I supposed to be doing that on the shop machine? Ok tried it with a sudo
in front, no change in the error.

And the family lucida is ghosted in the xfontsel display, which seems rather
cryptic. That is here on this F8 machine. So I ran it on the shop box,
kubuntu-6.06 and its all apparently active. So I got another instance of the
shell that is logged into this box as root, and its all active. 2648 fonts.
But this error is left on the screen after quitting it: Warning: Missing
charsets in String to FontSet conversion. On both the local screen and on the
one where I'm "ssh -Y -l gene shop"
Color me puzzled.

We used to have a utility that once you had installed more fonts, would tour
the selected paths and fix up all the links and lists, I remember using it to
install some very nice cursive fonts I got from www.goldenweb.it, back about
RH6.x days. When I installed F8 here, one of the things I recovered with
amanda was all of those fonts from the backup of FC6 , and they are all
available to OOwriter and to the gimp now, but maybe there is something
similar I should be doing now?
I know what I should be doing, is getting a cup of the coffee I made 20
minutes ago, maybe its -ENOTENOUGHCAFFIENE? ;)
Thanks Jeff.
