Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately different encodings didn't make
much difference. However, I did notice this when I started firefox from
the command line:
$ firefox
No running windows found
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-140-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1" to type
FontStruct
what on earth does that mean? I tried installing
font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi and font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi but
that didn't seem to do anything. I think I'm barking up the wrong
tree...
