hi,

since I upgraded to the X3.3.6-11 version X started complaining about this

ps.: I tried 'mkfontdir' again in all font directories, I checked permissions,
I'm using exactly the same configuration as for the last version (336-10). But 
nohing helped ...

Just download the fonts file and unpack it in the fonts directory.  I
think the font that you need should be in the misc directory.

I had this problem two days ago when I installed kde2.  The install seemed
to remove all fonts in the misc directory, and I had to reinstall them.
