Hi Sven, Thanks for your help. I have taken a look at your suggestions but I am still a little confused. After installing Gnome2, I ran fc-cache -f as root. I notice in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, there are "fonts.cache-1" files in every sub-directory: TrueType, Type1, misc, etc. However, misc/fonts.cache-1 is empty - and that is the location of my preferred fonts. My guess is that this is the problem. Do you agree? If so, do you have any ideas?
