Hey folks, I fixed it! Woo! :) Thanks to everyone who had suggestions (incl. Daniel, Stjin, Michael, others.) In looking for mkfontalias.py I came across a webpage which claimed the freetype backend to X4.03 wouldn't process capital letters in font file names... so, I converted all the caps to lowercase, remade fonts.dir and fonts.scale and... sure enough... the fonts came back. That seems like an odd restriction, though, no? Nonetheless, it works! :) Figures it'd be something inane... Thanks all! Erik. "Daniel T.
