Scalable fonts don't seem to be working:

This stuff did work once upon a time (I haven't been messing around with X fonts for a while - did I miss something?)

Do you have libXft-2.1.6-1? Keith's ChangeLog entry was:

* xftfreetype.c: (_XftSetFace):
	Rework bitmap instance selection code to make it look prettier.
	Also, try both y_ppem/x_ppem *and* width/height to see
	which values will actually manage to load a font -- FreeType
	2.1.7 has broken bdf/pcf loaders.

Don't know if that is related or not, but I would hope that you have the latest libXft, fontconfig, and freetype2 packages installed. Let us know.

Harold
