 Two things; bugzilla is not the best place to get support (use
 gnome-list for that), and if you don't want to deal with these kinds
 of issues please DON'T use unstable development releases GNOME! We
 have a very nice stable branch for Real Users; I'm sure there are
 packages for your distribution.

+Well, you may be true. But, if the problem is with the fonts, even the
+stable version will not work. And, on the other side, I don't think I
+demonstrated I wasn't willing to spend some time debugging the beast,
+however, there is also a limit on the time everyone is willing to
+spend on something.
+
+I suppose there is also something interesting for those involved with
+a piece of software to have someone else to test that piece of software.
+
+Clearly, after following the steps documented with GARNOME, GNOME 2 is
+still not working. The problem is clearly identified as a font
+problem. But there is no clear documentation on the working setup
+required by Gnome 2. When looking at TrueType fonts doc, we end up
+with something about the fontserver, however, the fontserver is
+useless with Gnome 2 and the fontconfig doc is not complete or there
+is no way to be sure what is says is what you get. fc-list command
+tells me the fonts are there and gnome-session is telling me they are not.
+
+Why not simply include the fonts and the working setup with GARNOME?
