I had a heck of a time having the Terminus (fixed) font recognized by
mozilla -- another GTK app. I had done as Liam rightly recommends
above and mozilla was ignoring my favorite fixed font.
Does gnome/gtk keep stuff in ram across login sessions to initialize
more quickly ..?
So, unless it's really inconvenient at this point I would just reboot
the boxx just in case .. see if it helps.
Otherwise, I don't use gnome or any of the apps you mention .. but are
they recent versions .. Just thinking that since it's a sarge system
you're talking about, some of the apps might be too ancient to be
fontconfig-aware..?
