The thing is that I had to install webfonts and to tune a little bit the X config file to get decent fonts. I don't know if I made some mistake following the rules in the handbook but if not I think it would be good to add my experiences in the handbook(The X Window System - Using Fonts in XFree86 section). Let me know what you guys think, David.
