well, what *i* did was

	apt-get install xfonts-scalable
	apt-get install freefont

then to figure out where to look for more info,

	dpkg -L freefont

and so i browsed to

	lynx /usr/share/doc/freefont/

where i learned to try

	xset fp+ /usr/X11/lib/fonts/freefont

...and i thought all would be lovely. sadly, my font menu didn't
change, even after restarting (and the stopping, cold, and
re-starting from scratch) the x window server.

so to answer your question, you can apt-get install some fonts;
getting them to work with your setup, ah -- there's the rub.

i'm using woody/kde, and xfontsel stubbornly shows only

	mincho
	new century schoolbook
	newspaper
	nil
	open look <various>
	song ti
	symbol
	terminal
	times
	utopia

at least until the lights come on. anybody know where the switch
is? :)

:
So you've decided to BLOCK ALL TRAFFIC EXCEPT SSH.  What you
need to do is specify the port to allow.  ssh uses port 22 by
default -- With iptables try:
    iptables -A INPUT -p TCP --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
This says that in the input chain, for tcp packets, if the port
number matches ssh in /etc/services then accept the packet
regardless of IP addresses.  (This should give you a pointer
towards the necessary ipchains options if you don't have
iptables available.)
