Hi,

  I did try running fc-cache, but as me... I don't have root.  Must
one run it as root?  Is there a way to install it such that you don't
have to be root.  

  Also, here is a list of files in the pango modules dir:

> ls /usr/local/lib/pango/1.2.0/modules/
pango-arabic-ft2.la    pango-arabic-ft2.so    pango-arabic-x.la
pango-arabic-x.so      pango-arabic-xft.la    pango-arabic-xft.so
pango-basic-ft2.la     pango-basic-ft2.so     pango-basic-x.la
pango-basic-x.so       pango-basic-xft.la     pango-basic-xft.so
...

I assume that at least one of those is a "usable font".  Thanks again
for your help.
