[Xastir] Problem with fonts

[Tom Russo]

On Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 03:20:07PM -0600, we recorded a bogon-computron collision of the <nacross at gmail.com> flavor, containing:
> I am running Xastit 1.9.4 on a Ubuntu 8.10 with kernel  2.6.27-14

This is a frequently asked question, and the answer is in the FAQ, which
you should have as /usr/local/share/doc/xastir/FAQ if you installed from
source.

*That* one I've never seen.  Looks like a garbled entry in the fonts list to
me, but someone else will have to answer that.
