Back in the office now.

I installed the 1.4 Gentoo a bit back. I have a problem with fonts.
They are all too small. I have tried changing them, but, even though there
are many installed on the system, I seem not to be able to use them. Most
print as a much much smaller font. Getting anything over 1-2 millimeters in
height is not possible.

I have been careful that I have the font directories listed properly in my X
config file. I do not think the problem is there.

Does gentoo use Xfs to serve fonts rather than the X server itself? If
so, need I do anything after 'emerge kde' to set up the fonts? I have turned
off and on the font anti-aliasing to no effect. Right now, I just want to
see 'bad old' X fonts of the size I specify.

The X stuff was installed as a dependency of kde and kde runs fine, except
fonts are too small. I tried running gnome, but it complained that some
needed fonts were not found. Very odd as the font directories all seem to
have what I expect, the font.xxx files seem complete, and the X server log
lists that these directories will be used. I think the problem is not
finding the fonts. It is serving them.

Any gentoo-specific pointers?
