xfstt goes into Fontpath as a font server. You can I suppose use xset in ~/.xsession but that's hardly useful for globally available fonts. > > Actually it DID fix it on my box amazingly enough.

I've got beginnings of ideas here but I won't have them for a few days until I have time to think clearly, which will be after I've finished reading email, writing email to the people I need to (mostly LinuxWorld event related stuff) and essentially just getting caught up.
