I see it at /usr/share/fonts/ freefont ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation ttf-sil-gentium openoffice ttf-inconsolata ttf-lyx ttf-sil-gentium-basic Along with several others. None of these show up in the list emacs generates. None show up in the full list displayed xlsfonts either. Googling around, I see a fair number of hits, but they (so far) appear to be dated to the point of being not very helpful. It seems a common theme is to point out the fonts in xorg.conf... but the new debian does not use xorg.conf any more so not sure how that would be done in that case. I have posted a query on the debian user list, but haven't seen a response yet... (its a very new posting). But, anyway I thought I might get help here as well. I have emacs-23 installed with Debian tools, but run emacs-24 (from 1 week ago) from my own compile. What can I do to make these fonts accessible to emacs?
