Hi,

Port : icewm-1.2.16
Pb.  : icewm ignore fonts prefs.

Comment :
the 'Makefile' file of this port does a 'configure'
defaults options including xfreetype, not X core fonts.
Xfreetype seem not work correctly with Icewm,
(module xfreetype is well loaded by X via xorg.conf)
I solve this pb. by enabling X core font *AND*
disabling xfreetype.

Solution :
Here's the patch :
--- Makefile.orig	Fri Feb 25 13:08:39 2005
+++ Makefile	Fri Feb 25 12:12:53 2005
@@ -24,6 +24,8 @@
  		LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib -L${X11BASE}/lib"
  CONFIGURE_ARGS=	--enable-shaped-decorations \
  		--enable-guievents \
+		--enable-corefonts \
+		--disable-xfreetype \
  		--with-cfgdir=${DATADIR} \
  		--with-libdir=${DATADIR} \
  		--with-kdedatadir=${LOCALBASE}/share \

Caveats :
Font parms syntax in icewm prefs files must use the
xfs font syntax eg :
-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso8859-3
