I followed the instructions. (well, except for the vi ones...I prefer pico,
myself)
But it does not seem to work...I've included my /etc/X11/fs/config file...
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but kde's control panel's information (X
Server) says I'm still using 75x75 dpi fonts..
My problem is really in Netscape (mostly) I can display kanji but it's all
smudgy and looks low res...and I need better fonts for kfm as well...
TIA.
