You have to do a bit more work to see anything-- here's a couple of lines from my .xinitrc:
xfontpath install applettf freefont ghostscript msttf sharefont xfontpath enable The first entry after "xfonpath install" refers to applesystemfonts. Alexander K. Hansen Levitated Dipole Experiment http://www.psfc.mit.edu/LDX -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Horton Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2003 8:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Fink-users] Abiword, X11 and font problem I've had applesystemfonts installed for quite awhile now, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything I can detect. I just rebuilt it, and restarted X11 - no apple system fonts in any X apps. I restarted the computer, and still didn't get any apple system fonts. What else can I try? Are there some apps that don't work with applesystemfonts? I've tried abiword, gnumeric, pan, mozilla, bluefish, gtkgraph and xephem. I'm running Apple's X11 beta 3.
