These are not truetype fonts and do not have any anti-aliasing.  They do
not even work with Pango using the version of Xft provided in Debian.
Keith Packard's website has Xft2 somewhere I think.  Pango won't use a PCF
font without it.

What Jim's got is already packaged in Debian as xfonts-jmk.  If Jim has
TTF fonts I don't know about, I'd absolutely love to package them.  The
same goes for a utf-8 version of his existing fonts, which his website's
been promising for a couple years now.  ;)
