I hope you don't mind my attempt to send you a message directly, I was wondering why you say that xfs is obsolete and what do you suggest to use instead of it. I ask this because I tried to set the font path in XFree86 config file to use the fonts directories directly but then, everything worked very slowwww.

Hi All,
Hopefully one of the last questions for a while ;), but one that I really
need to get answered to make my KDE 3.2.1 (Fedora Core 1) desktop good. :)
I have a whole bunch of TrueType fonts installed on my system. I got these in by following instructions outlined at the following location:
http://myturl.com/000s6/
This is all fine and well, and OpenOffice finds my new fonts great. They
also show up in the output of `fslsfonts -server localhost:7100`, which
queries my XFS server (with TCP/IP sockets enabled) and returns the goods. However, neither Mozilla Firebird or Konqueror recognize the fonts. With
regards to just Konqueror, and when viewing a webpage, I go to Settings,
Configure Konqueror, and then Fonts on the left, and none of my fonts are
listed in the drop-down menus to the right. Could this be an issue WRT
language encoding, or shouldn't all of the fonts naturally appear there?b
I've checked every language encoding and every drop-down, to no avail. :)
Does KDE / Konqueror handle fonts different and w/o the use of XFS?
XFS is obsolete. If you have a single system (no network) you should NOT use it. KDE/Qt uses FontConfig. The global configuration files for FontConfig should be in: "/etc/fonts/".
To see if it is finding the directories containing your fonts, run [as root]:
fc-cache -v
