Fonts in gnome-2

[Travis Saling <trav u washington edu>]

I was playing around a bit with Gnome 2 (via VBS), and it didn't take
more than a few seconds to decide that the default font really ... um,
how can I put this nicely ... lacked much to recommend it. So, I went to
the Applications / Preferences / Fonts selector, and chose a custom
font.

What I don't understand is why most of the fonts I have installed do not
show up in the "Pick a Font" list. Obviously this isn't grabbing the
font list from X. My question, then, is two fold. Where does Gnome 2
keep its list of fonts? And, what do I need to do to add some of my
existing TrueType fonts to the mix?
