Thanks Damon, I solved the problem by copying my fonts to a folder on a fat32 partition. Drakfont ran fine after that. I started tweaking the gnome2 font settings and now I can't even start gnome anymore. I changed the font defaults to verdana. I'm resorting to running KDE3 (and liking it so far), but I would still like to run my gnome2 based apps. Any hints on this. I looked through some *.xml files in .gconf .gconfd and .gnome2 and there seem to be some font settings in there. So far I'm not too impressed with gnome2, on the other hand KDE has come a long way.
