I forgot to add- I ran Xorg without Windowmaker and ran xfontsel, and |
| 30 |
all of the fonts were there. Moreover, then running Mozilla, I saw |
| 31 |
that it could find all of the fonts as well, so perhaps this is a |
| 32 |
Windowmaker specific problem, and not system-wide when running as user. |
