(Donnie, Thanks for all your informative replies on the Xorg issues.)

I notice that some of the fonts you mention are keyword masked (at
least on x86).  For example font-bitstream-* (except for -vera) and
font-ibm-type1.  Are these fonts less tested?  Would you recommend
unmasking all of them?  Would you want me to file a bug asking for
stabilization?  I should add that I am not at all hurting with just
the (stable) fonts that I do have installed.

thanks again,
allan
