Yes. Sorry, I know this has come up before in the list.

After adding my TrueType directory to "Additional Paths", my
fonts still wouldn't show up. 

Copying my TrueType fonts to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/
did work, however.

None of my fonts (I have Postscript and TrueType) are previewing correctly in the 
Select Fonts dialog: they all look the same. (actually, I guess one of them *is* 
previewing correctly!)

1.1.0 would find all of my fonts and preview correctly.
