The xset mechanism is obsolete during the last years and have been superseded by the concept of client side font. For Gtk and Qt this is handled by fontconfig . To see the fonts that fontconfig supports do:
fc-list To add additional fonts, it is typically enough to copy the font to ~/.fonts . You can then check with fc-list that you managed to add the fonts. Another option is to make use of the fact that MeeGo is rpm based and just grab a rpm file from a different distribution and try to install it. Since there are no binary executables in the font rpms, it should be pretty straightforward unless the directory structure is different on MeeGo. Please give us a review of the WeTab and how you manage with Hebrew and BiDi.
