When I installed the msttcorefonts package yesterday, it installed the
fonts as msttcorefonts, meaning the .ttf files live under
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts and xlsfonts reports the fonts
as -msttcorefonts-blah-
Where I am stuck is that these fonts aren't visible to the naked eye
when selected in xfontsel or used in xterm.

That is to say, all my msttcorefonts start with -microsoft-*. Of course, I
installed them almost 3 years ago, so maybe something has changed since
then. Or maybe the new installer is broken?
