I have found that if I start drakfont and select "actionis" this kills the
fontserver and produces a message on the xterm:
Gdk-WARNING **: Creating pixmap from xpm with NULL window and colormap
After this, I have to do a "/etc/init.d/xfs start" to get the font server
going again.
To remove fonts in drakfont, I have to select them and choose "remove" but
doing this will kill the app and the system font server. How do I dump all
these fonts and then start over with drakfont and get the windows ttf fonts
again?
