xlsfonts gives me -bunches- of output. Standard adobe stuff, b&h, bitstream, cronyx, ... KDE, for instance, uses a good font. The applications that suffer are gtk apps like gnome-apt, and other random apps, like the menus in LyX (an xforms app) and netscape, and the gdm login. So the problem isn't consistent all the way through the X environment. I'm guessing KDE does allright because it gets its own fonts its own way. The first thing I looked into was whether or not fonts are installed. They certainly are. One thing I noticed... the ./fonts dir in /etc/X11 contains alias files (zum beispiel "xfonts-100dpi.alias", which contains all font names). The real fonts seem to be installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/*, and they are all gz'd. I don't think I've ever seen fonts installed that way, but I figured it was a deb thing. BTW: how does one find out what font X is using at any given time?
