fonts, xft2, and gtk2: I am confused

[Klaus Dahlke <klaus dahlke gmx de>]

Hi all,
please excuse this dumb question, but I am somehow confuded about the font handling: 

When I run gnome-2.4, I use GDK_USE_XFT=0 in my .xinitrc before I start gnome. I can then select basically all the fonts declared in XF86Config. When setting GDK_USE_XFT=1, only the truetype fonts are shown.

After installing gnome-2.6 I can only select only the truetype fonts (GDK_USE_XFT=0), whereas gfontsel, xfontsel etc show all fonts declared in XF86Config. I haven't changed any configuration. I am little confused.

Any help is appritiated.

Thanks,
Klaus
