Which reminds me: At one stage of my struggles I did achieve
something with
apt-get install xfonts-base
I found that I only had some "transcribed" versions of the
fonts installed. I don't know what they are - I think I
was conned into using them by dselect but I'm not sure.
And by the way, I've been using fvwm(2) for a year or two
on potato and slink.
