 |   Over the weekend, I installed the freefont package and configured
 |   it into the X11R6 fonts directory.  It is hard to see what these
 |   fonts look like with xfontsel because the font-name window runs
 |   off my screen.  Does anyone know if there are Gothic type fonts
 |   among the freefont package?   Alternately, how can I take the
 |   Hershey *gsf fonts and turn them into X-recognizable fonts?

Regarding xfontsel with lots of fonts, this works reasonably well, though I
do also run with a 1600x1280 virtual desktop:

        xfontsel -xrm "*font: 5x7"
