	So then I must reinstantiate X to get the font, correct?
	What if I find some new free ttf font and put it in 
	/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/{TTF,webfonts} ???  If there a font
	initializer or does the X server handle this?

	thanks,

	PS: The fonts in x11-fonts/webfonts are "OK"--no complaints.
	    But  I have several new ones, etc... .
