It'll be greyed out if you're not running Metacity.  Honestly, Debian's
GNOME setup wasn't the greatest the last time I subjected myself to
using that distro for a desktop, and it's far far too easy to have the
system decide to use a different WM by default.  Sawfish or something
other WM may be running instead of Metacity.

Hmm.  I thought fontconfig could handle *any* font, so long as it was
installed and registered properly?  Could be wrong, tho.  ;-)
