Hmm, I put my fonts in the directory specified by FONTPATH in defs.h, so
that wasn't the problem. But I just tried to install some other fonts
using Ted's method and it worked just fine! It seems that the exact font
he mentioned - XIPA10 - is one of the few fonts which _don't_ work, but
which I did get to work using Alejandro's method.

In fact, I just installed MS Comic Sans, converted from TrueType, and it
worked perfectly. So my guess is that something goes wrong with the font
encoding in some cases. Although, I wouldn't begin to know what.

Now I just need to learn how to install and use a whole new font family.
Any pointers?
