!!! [KDE] fonts
With [Debian] (possibly others) fonts can work fine on [GNOME] but not [KDE]. Install the xfstt package ([X] font server for TrueType) and it will then use TrueType fonts.

!!! Miscellaneous Technical Notes:
In the <tt>fonts.dir</tt> file, you can point different encodings (charsets) to the same physical file, __BUT ONLY FOR SCALABLE FONTS__. I spent quite a while trying to determine why my characters were wrong when I tried to do this for a bitmap font (eg a 75dpi one). It is the scalable font backends that do the magic here, not X itself.
