Holly -

A nice tip! 

I have a question that is a little OT. I've been using "bitstream
vera sans mono" for my mlterm because it soo. . . much easier on my
old eyes than some of the other fonts, but it has poor coverage of
non-Latin fonts, so I am looking at trying one of the "terminus"
fonts, which look pretty good, or the "unifont", for more complete
coverage.

Problem is, I can't get X to recognize that I emerged those fonts.
Neither of them appear in "xlsfonts" or "xfontsel".  I've tried
various combinations of mkfontdir, mkfontscale, xset, all to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Bill
