It's my belief that Aleczapka's Artwiz fonts define the look of Fluxbox text better than any other (I'm guessing that was the intent behind their creation). At 260k uncompressed, it's not too heavy a load for something like 16 excellent fonts. If they were to be included in a future release, it would make at least one user happy, and I'd not have to change my styles.
Just something to think about....thanks for reading.

I have a .dsl file under construction with intention to add these fonts to DSL.
The "executable" was to be a basic install script, to place the fonts where they go,
and rebuild the font database to recognise te new additions..

I can see them when I run xlsfonts.....
What command do I use in DSL to attach them to the existing fontbase ?

I'm not sure...i've never added fonts to DSL.
All I know is "mkfontdir && xset fp rehash", which I use when adding fonts in SuSE, and i remember using fc-cache or something similar in other distros.
