This all worked.
I think the problem is the fonts I dl'ed for the gimp.
They dont have the .ttf extension, but .pfb. The fonts
are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont and
.. .. .. .. .. /sharefont and
/URW.
My ttf fonts are now available, but the fonts needed by
the GIMP I cant get running..
Any more assistance?
