You know, I'm /quite/ embarrassed about this one. Last year I wrote a
/very/ long, and informative "how-to" for adding fonts to X. I gave a fair
amount of background on the whole process too - including "debugging" the
results of each step. You'd think I'd have figured this out on my own. :P
Problem was - I /assumed/ that installing xorg-server, xorg-apps, and
xorg-libraries would have /included/ all the prerequisites - D'oh!

Anyway, looks like I have something else to add to that "how-to". :)

Thanks again for taking the time to help me out on this one.
