That's how I'm running now, but there are some non-standard fonts that
I'm trying to get working to make my desktop look a little funkier, and
they definately look better antialiased (viewed through gfontsel
anyway).  

At this point it's the principle of the thing, not sure why the fonts
are dissapearing!  I'd like to figure that out and then decide to use or
not use the AA.
