I have lost some fonts ...
In my font selector I was seeing fonts like :
Fixed [Etl]
Fixed [Jis]
Fixed [Misc]
Fixed [Sony]
Freemonospaced
Gothic [Daewoo]
Gothic [Mplus]
Itc Zapf Chancery [Adobe]
Itc Zapf Chancery [Itc]
Terminal [Bistream]
Terminal [Dec]
Zapf Chancery
Zapt Dingbats
courier [Adobe]
courier [Bitsream]
courier [Urw]
helvetica [Adobe]
helvetica [Urw]
But now I don't have any of this fonts ... I do not see any font with "[ ]"
next to the name ...
I have only one Fixed font, but I have a Courier, and Courier 10 Pitch that I
haven't got before ??
So where are my fonts ? In fact with xfontsel I can see my Fixed Sony, and
other Fixed Jis ... but not with any KDE application ??
