  Yes, it should pick the new ones up.  But the ThinIce theme engine, at least,
does not seem to honor fonts (I was perplexed for a long period of time as to
the reason for the option since it didn't do anything, and then I happened to
switch themes a few days ago..)

  Are there any non-broken theme engines around?  The Win95 and metal ones are
ugly, the Pixmap theme makes apps crash, and now this... *sigh*
