Hmm, this is what they list:

============================================

I noticed that the default directory has a ghostscript directory in it, which 
itself has loads of fonts - although //default on the other hand doesn't seem 
to contain any!  The local directory is also empty.  Finally, I noticed that 
the fonts.dir within //encodings has rw access rights only for root.

What should the above look like on a 'normal' installation?  (All I can think 
is that I must have messed up my fonts in the distant past, migrating from 
X86F to Xorg.)
