What is "they"?

Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking.

Are you asking about the font display from `font-menus.el'?  If so, I have not
changed that at all.  This is the kind of thing that shows:

-outline-Andale Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-*-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1
-outline-Andale Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
-outline-Andale Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-2

I happen to use Mile's function also.  That shows a much shorter list of fonts,
and it shows only the font names.  But the names are shown using their own fonts
(WYSIWYG):

Bitstream Charter (Bitstream Charter)
Bitstream Vera Sans (Bitstream Vera Sans)
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono (Bitstream Vera Sans Mono)
Bitstream Vera Serif (Bitstream Vera Serif)
Charter (Charter)
Clean (Clean)
ClearlyU (ClearlyU)
ClearlyU Alternate Glyphs (ClearlyU Alternate Glyphs)
ClearlyU PUA (ClearlyU PUA)
Courier (Courier)
...

Two different critters, serving different purposes.

Again, dunno what you are asking (or whom you are asking).
