Ian;

It looks like the thread above is what I'm looking for. Right now my
local.conf makes no reference to Luxi fonts. Looking at my
/etc/fonts.config file, I notice that the Vera fonts are listed first,
in the Sans, Sans Serif, and Mono sections, so where is the config
file that makes the system use the Luxi fonts (assuming I'm right that
they are the system defaults) even though they are lower in the list?
And if the font list is not read from top to bottom, how is it read?
I'll take a look at another distribution to see what the differences
are, maybe that will help.

Here is the thread I started the other day. I'd be interested to know
if you've noticed any of the same issues.
