Are you trying to use Windows fonts with the MI/X server? I don't think
that's supported. You have to use X fonts. The MI/X FAQ describes what these
are and how to install them, but I don't think it tells you where to get
them. I hunted around the web a bit after I installed MI/X and found a nice
collection of fonts (probably on an X11 distribution site), but I don't
remember where that was.

(On the other hand, if Windows fonts ARE supposed to work with MI/X, I'd
love to know how to get it to work...)
