this looks promising.
$ xset fp rehash
and xfonsel shows the same old fonts, and xlsfonts enumerates
them in great detail, but there's no more fonts now than before
i did apt-get install...
plain vanilla woody/kde setup (tho i had a problem with the
'kicker' panel -- took out the taskbar applet which shows open
windows, and all is much better now).
why don't my new fonts show up? i think i've tried just about
everything suggested, so far... :(

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #7 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
Wondering what COMMANDS you have at your disposal? Try pressing
the TAB key at the command line. For example, "apt<TAB>" will
show you all the commands that start with "apt". (This is called
"completion" if you want to look it up in your shell's manpage.)
(Different implementations have the <TAB> completion set up
differently -- you may need to press <TAB> twice.)
