[lug] TrueType Fonts RPM

[Riggs, Robert]

Elyse,

Can you make sure that xfs (the X font server) is running. You might also
want to try stopping and starting xfs, after which you'll want to restart X.
I generally log out and then hit ctrl-alt-backspace, but using 'telinit' to
go to run level 3, then back to 5 (assuming you boot into run level 5) is a
bit safer.

I've not seen these problems before. I've always installed it and it just
worked.

Additional information: when I run gfontsel, the first font that shows up in

the list is 'charter'. It seems odd that no fonts show up from earlier in
the 
alphabet. 

chkfontpath looks good, all of the font files are there, with permissions 
644, owned by root.

This is really frustrating.

Any ideas?
