Apparently someone thought it was a good plan to locate the font
versions with updated encodings within the OpenWindows environment,
rather than leaving them in with the rest of X, even though OpenWindows
is supposed to be disappearing RSN.
Running
xset +fp /usr/openwin/lib/locale/iso_8859_15/X11/fonts/TrueType
gives me access to these fonts. If I could bear running CDE or
OpenWindows, this might even work automatically, but alas, I can't.
Thanks to Mark Reed for finding that.
