Yeah I've seen equivalent info before, the three parts I was getting bit by were: a) I had a Tk/Tcl based app (exmh, my mail reader), which added freetype support. b) I had a nice selection of bitmap-based fonts that freetype didn't like.. c) I had no way to answer "which <bleeping> fonts would look best here?" - there was no way to do the equiv of running 'xfontsel' and seeing which fonts were available in a usable state.... It's hard to decide if Bitstream Vera Sans Mono is a suitable replacement for a font, when you can't easily tell you *HAVE* that font.. ;)
