Installing new fonts
Hi
I have just installed fluxbox, and I want to use the artwiz-fonts[1]. I downloaded the package and put it in /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc, then I did the following: xset fp rehash. After that, I restarted X. But there were no changes, and I am out of ideas on what to try next. And for those who would like to know - I run Debian Sid :) Thanks in advance.

ok, I've figured it out now.
I installed the font with aptitude install, and I found it in xfontsel (which means it installed just fine). So, to use the font i the fluxbox-style, I used "artwiz-10" :) |
