    If I fire up a vncserver with Gnome (verrrrry sloooowly), the Artwiz fonts I
    installed in ~/.fonts are 'available'.

    However, when I run a vncserver that loads Pekwm instead, those fonts are not
    available, I just get the default 'fixed' font in the menus and titlebars.

    X should load the same set of fonts no matter the desktop or WM, no?
