I load the fonts in my .xinitrc file, but I don't know if this is necessary anymore:

...
xfontpath install applettf freefont ghostscript/Type1 msttf sharefont konsole intl intl/TrueType intl/Type1
xfontpath enable
...

Um...  No.  I have found some references to using fondu but have not
found the program or a man page describing it's use.  Would this be the
way to read them in?  I compiled applesystemfonts with Fink and this
shows as "current" in Fink's GUI...

That shouldn't have mattered. You probably didn't have the X11 SDK installed, which is required to compile packages.

Switched to Darwin XFre86 and GAIM compiled
easily :)  The fonts in XFree86 are horrible though! I tried
installing
the Apple fonts via Fink with no results...

So you installed applesystemfonts? Are you doing anything special to

read them in?

How may I improve the
fonts in XFree86?  BTW, I am also running KDE 3.1 installed with
Fink...

Many thanks!
