Gimp on Becker

[R. David Whitlock]

Heya.

Say, now that I've actually managed to get Gimp going on my low-color
X-term, where are the fonts???

The text tool says that no fonts are installed, and so it will be
unavailable;

A) Anyone know if these are just hidden somewhere else on Becker (mike?)

B) Anyone know how to set the info from outside Becker so it knows where
to look for the fonts?

C) Is it possible (as well as OK) to install these fonts if they aren't
on, and how does one do something like that? (never messed with X fonts
before...)

Waddaya guys think?

	-David
