I haven't tried xlsfonts with it, but I have had the terminal load
fonts without any trouble.  I didn't have any problems setting it up,
really.  I do seem to recall having a little trouble with symbolic
links, though -- I believe I had to give the terminal the actual
pathname for the font directory, rather than have it follow symbolic
links.  Perhaps that's the problem?
