The two 100dpi fonts show up, the dozen or so other 75dpi fonts don't. The two 100dpi fonts are not scalable. I was able to edit a fontspec by hand with gconf though, and this worked well enough. > > required for me to use X effectively.

I was hoping it might be so, thanks. I've been trying various things suggested to "fix my font setup" since that is what people have been telling me is wrong. They told me to trust them that it was not a bug, so I hadn't filed it as one yet. This morning I got someone to look over all of my relevant configs and ensure that they were correct. I've been at this for a couple days now, it's not like this is the first time I've mentioned this problem to anyone. Contrary to jdub's belief, I began with the assumption that it was a misconfiguration on my system and asked #gnome for advice. That was two days ago now. I've since tried half a dozen things and asked for further advice when I found they didn't work. Everyone I talked to was certain that it was not a bug in Nautilus. I'll install the downloaded stuff when I get home and report back if it doesn't fix it. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@bluecherry.net> You want fries with that? <Knghtbrd> hardcopy is for wussies <Topher> computer program listings....next, on HardCopy
