But they are already there! That's the thing that is boggling me. KDE & Gnome
apps see all my fonts. I can use the new Vera fonts in KDE (In fact I'm doing
so now). I can also use them in gtk (I'm using them in Gaim right now!) But
Gimp does not see them.
Here's the relevant portion of my XFree86 log file....
(**) FontPath set to
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type
1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X1
