 with something about the fontserver, however, the fontserver is
 useless with Gnome 2 and the fontconfig doc is not complete or there
 is no way to be sure what is says is what you get. fc-list command
 tells me the fonts are there and gnome-session is telling me they are not.
 
 Why not simply include the fonts and the working setup with GARNOME?

+------- Additional Comments From jdub perkypants org  2002-11-28 22:58 -------
+a) GARNOME 0.18.x builds GNOME 2.1.x, which uses fontconfig and Xft2,
+not core X fonts. It's a whole different kettle of fish. That's why
+I've recommended using stable, as you seem to want to USE not TEST the
+software.
+
+b) GARNOME does not include fonts because... Well, why should it? This
+is for testing GNOME, not distributing fonts. You have fonts. I have
+fonts. Everyone already has fonts.
+
+c) GARNOME *is* a working setup for most users. If you don't have the
+time to test and debug unstable development software, use GARNOME
+0.17.x, or do the sensible thing and use packages for your distribution.
+
+If you want to discuss this further, post to the GARNOME mailing list.
+This is totally inane to discuss in bugzilla, so I'm closing the bug.
