In any case, no file xorg.conf is being created when I execute "X -configure". I can access and use these fonts just fine in applications (such as the xfce desktop settings), so it's very frustrating that making them directly accessible to X is for some reason proving so difficult :-( Doc -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
