well, fonts.dir file exists but update-fonts-alias misc as root command failed to produce a fonts.alias file in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/ yet. This is getting weirder and weirder by the second. If I get this working at all I'm going to write a howto file though probably this is the only system that ever had this happen or will have this happen so I'm not sure of anyone else's results.
