A bit more info. as a follow on ...with 6 fonts located by xfstt force-reload
and five via xlsfonts | grep ttf ...
I logged out to my graphical loggin, KDM, logged out to the command line and
at someone elses suggestion /etc/init.d/kdm restart
interestinly when KDM restarted and I logged into the same user,
/etc/init.d/xfstt still gives 6 fonts
BUT
xlsfonts | grep ttf gives none !!!
I had to completely re-boot to get them back, which incidently now gives me 6
fonts, its the rebooting thing I am trying to avoid !
