 - I am not sure if I should work with the XftConfig file in my /etc
 filetree or the /garnome/etc/fonts.conf file in my Garnome filetree.
 - Is there some missing link to make the fonts available to applications?
 - I checked with dpyinfo and the RENDER extension is loaded.
 
 So, it still doesn't work and complains about the Verdana font.

+GNOME 2.1.x doesn't use X server fonts, it uses client side fonts via
+fontconfig/Xft/RENDER/freetype. Nothing to do with your X or xfs
+provided fonts. 2.1.x is based on fontconfig, so you need to make sure
+$prefix/etc/fonts.conf is correct, and run fc-cache as root as other
+posters have mentioned on garnome-list.
