This is probably the wrong list for this, but it came up here...  this
query leads me to ask what the reason was for the change in font
selection dialog between versions 1.4 and 2.0 of gnome-terminal:  I
found it much easier to make a selection in 1.4; in fact, when I try
to select the -etl-fixed- font, it decides to use the koi-8 encoding,
which doesn't allow the point size I like...
