Were they replaced by something else then?
I recognixed the name, but have never had a good
grasp of X fonts :)
Are we loosing popular fonts, or are we loosing fonts
that were seldom used?
We really need a new font type. One with the look
of TrueType but without patent restrictions.
Some topagraphy shop need to come up with the format,
and a nice set of free fonts to get every one to switch.
Havoc mentioned some work on better free fonts,
but they will have the same old TrueType problems.
