Well, you can always manually enter in all the information that it can't find.

Not with defoma, exactly, but with other parts of Debian. The stuff in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ is handled by update-fonts-dir and related scripts, which get their information from various places such as /etc/X11/fonts. You can create your own files in /etc/X11/fonts (I haven't tried this), but I would suggest just creating a /usr/local/share/fonts directory, and putting your own fonts in there, then pointing the various applications to that directory. -- Hubert Chan <hubert@uhoreg.ca> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
