I'm running RedHat 9 on Intel. The problem I'm having is the font list under
'Tools' --> 'Options' --> 'Fonts & Colors' suddenly became much shorter than it
was with 0.6.1. All my MS truetype fonts are no longer in the list
(specifically, Arial font for Hebrew encoding). Is this a result of using gtk2
or XFT? The font lists and used in KDE.

Reproducible: Always

I'm running Debian on Intel. I don't know about 0.6.1, but I just downloaded the
20031213 gtk2+xft build on a whim (last time I tried fb I decided no xft was a
blocker for me) and I can't select the MS Truetype fonts that I love so much
under  Mozilla. I've again decided that this is a blocker for me and will
continue to stick with Mozilla.
