Did you look using xfontsel? I ask, because a recurring bug seems to be that KDE will not see ttf fonts while using bitmap, and vise versa, etc, etc. This is made worse when using AA. However, if X can't see it, something is wrong... Have you installed fonts on this machine before? Do other fonts that you download off the web work? What's your /etc/xft.config look like (that is not the real filename, however I'm in winblows and can't check, just search for something with a name that looks like that). And is there some font validator that you can use to make sure your font is "correct"? I ask in all sincerity, since I haven't used such a tool, but think it would be cool if it exists :-) Well, that should give you a good place to start, and if all that is fruitless, the info you dig up should give *me* a good place to start :-) Have a wonderful night!
