Wolfgang, Thanks for the tip. I checked the fonts.scale. Two follow- ups: 1. In a sense, your reply only deepens the mystery. For example, with anti-aliasing enabled, ``Nimbus Roman No9 L" appears in KDE's font list, but ``Times" does not. With anti-aliasing disabled, both names appear in KDE's font list. 2. In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.scale, the aliases are not defined by name but by number. Can you point me to a list of which approximation is used to alias each of the ``35 standard PostScript fonts"?

E.g. Times is only an alias for "Nimbus Roman No9 L". These aliases are defined in the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.scale. Could it be that the fonts are really there but only the aliases are missing?
