Hi Brian, Mine is not so much a question of the appearance of the fonts as it is the appearance of the fonts, if you'll excuse the play on words. :-) I'm concerned that no one on this very large and active mailing list has been able to suggest a way forward for me to date. I'm not one simply to throw out a question without first having sought on my own to find an answer and my research has not helped to date. It seems odd to me that I can't see the usual fonts that are made available in x. xfontsel shows them but they dont seem usable for some reason. And, as I mentioned above, output from running fc-cache -fv reveals nothing helpful. I really don't know how to approach the problem at this point. Something's wrong when you can't find helvetica, eh? Regards. jlowell

Fonts, What Else
I'm having some trouble understanding the Debian way with fonts. I've installed the base packages plus X window system, fluxbox, and firefox. Firefox does not show in its menu certain fonts that I would think would be available to it simply by virtue of X's installation, that is to say helvetica, lucida, any number of others.
