xlsfonts gives me -bunches- of output. Standard adobe stuff, b&h, bitstream,
cronyx, ... KDE, for instance, uses a good font. The applications that suffer
are gtk apps like gnome-apt, and other random apps, like the menus in LyX (an
xforms app) and netscape, and the gdm login. So the problem isn't consistent
all the way through the X environment. I'm guessing KDE does allright because
it gets its own fonts its own way.
The first thing I looked into was whether or not fonts are installed. They
certainly are. One thing I noticed... the ./fonts dir in /etc/X11 contains
alias files (zum beispiel "xfonts-100dpi.alias", which contains all font
names). The real fonts seem to be installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/*,
and they are all gz'd. I don't think I've ever seen fonts installed that way,
but I figured it was a deb thing.
BTW: how does one find out what font X is using at any given time?
