OK, would this be done via /etc/rc.d/functions?  I have never modified the
initialization scripts before.

According to my initscript, xfstt is loading right near the end of my boot
process, right before I get a login console.  I've even loaded it manually

rerun the xfstt-config script and re-add my Windows fonts directory.
