(this must be a FAQ, only I can't find an answer). so:
I went into the /windows/fonts directory. I've created a fonts.dir file there (tried ttmkfdir and mkfontdir/mkfontscale, same difference). did "xset +fp /windows/fonts/; xset fp rehash". ugliness ensued. note: I'm not talking about Gnome or KDE, since those modern things render their fonts without using the X server. I'm talking about Emacs, mostly. the X server over at my Debian box shows the same fonts in the same apps just fine. I tried looking there to find the important difference, but despaired at the sight of defoma... any suggestions? regards, --m -- By filing this bug report, you have challenged the honor of my family.
