I have xfs-xtt set up on a remote machine, happily serving a bunch of fonts (including TrueType fonts like the BitStream fonts) to my workstation. xlsfonts shows thousands of fonts. gtkfontsel and xfontsel can both load and display all of these fonts. Rxvt can use the fonts, although it can't scale them (so they're far too big to use). But these fonts do not appear in the list of fonts available for selection in gnome-font-properties (or gnome-terminal's font selection dialog either). Abiword can't find these fonts either. If I install the fonts on the local machine, then GNOME and Abiword can find them. I don't want them installed on the local machine. I want them served by a central font server. That's what font servers are for. I've spent about three days straight googling and searching the BTS and mailing lists and such, but no clues so far.
