How about forgetting the fancy GUI. Read up on XFS (X Font Server), and
install the fonts correctly. I'm sure that DrakeFont is fine, but there
are more reliable ways. Also, by taking some time to learn how to do it
right, when things break, you'll know how to fix them
Usless GUI's is one of the things that drove me away from Wondoze. They
have little place in *nix.
