Hi!
A while back, there was a similar discussion about the Xserver/font problem,
where i mentioned that i changed the artwiz fonts to work correctly with
blackbox. So if you would try them out i can send them to you ( since my
provider accidently removed my write permissions, i cannot put them on my
webpage at the moment).
However, there may be obsolete, since i have changed the file
blackbox-0.61.1/src/i18n.cc.
In the line 58 i've changed:
locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
to: locale = setlocale(LC_ALL, "C");
After then all fonts are recognized. Maybe this is dump, but i'm not a
programmer and my computer didn't burst up in flames, so it works for me :-)
