this is part of XFree86-fonts-100dpi-4.3.0-17 and these are pcf.gz
For a test, I disabled all helv* and cour* in 100dpi and 75dpi folder, and
then the site www.linux.org.uk/... did displayed again. But I have then
still problems with sf.net. Also it seems to be a bit too much, as it is
looking very differently... also sites which display before.

The fonts, which have problems with the "choose..." thing I mentioned
before, is rather long:

Adobe Courir,
Adobe Helvetica,
Adobe New Century Schoolbook,
Adobe Times,
Adobe Utopia,
B&H Lucida,
B&H Ludiabright,
B&H Lucida typewriter,
Bitstream Terminal,
Dec Terminal,
Elt Fixed,
Led Fixed,
Misc Console,
Misc Console Wide,
Misc Fixed,
Misc Fixed Wide,
Mutt Clearlyn Wide,
Schumacher Cleen,
Sgi Haeberli,
Sgi Haebfix,
Sgi Screen,
Sgi Screen Wide,
Sony Fixed

I got xfs with XFree86 as a font-server
as far, as I see, there are no doubles
libXft is version 2.1 and 1.1
libfontconfig is 1.1
libfreetype 6.3.2

I checked with rpm -qsf, and it sayed to be original...

I have other font-types too, besides .pcf.gz
