Yes; I'm using the very latest from sid. (Not the 4.2 experimental
ones,
however.)

I just tried this (again). First I just commented out the 7110 FontPath
part,
exited KDE, hit Alt-E in kdm to restart X, logged back into KDE, opened up
the Control Panel, looked at the fonts: little boxes. So then I entered
'/etc/init.d/xfs-xtt stop', verified that it was stopped, exited, restarted
X, logged back in--and still got little boxes. I've similarily played with
turning anti-aliasing on and off, but nothing works. What's driving me mad is
that all the fonts work just fine in GNOME, so it _should_ work in KDE. For
the record, here also is the "Files" section of my XFConfig-4 file:
Section "Files"
# FontPath "unix/:7110"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/thryomanes"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
# FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
# FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
EndSection
(Note that the I just commented out the last two entries for TrueType and
Type1 fonts; I've tried those paths as well, and all that happens is that I
get duplicate fonts that are displayed as boxes.)
