What were you trying to do?
Change the default fonts used by mwm to new century schoolbook (from times.)

What's wrong:
It doesn't take them. When I do, for example in my .Xresources:
mwm*icon*fontList:		*-new century schoolbook-medium-r-*--24-*
the font used for the icons is actually "fixed." Yet if all I do is replace
the "new century schoolbook" with either times, courier, or helvetica, it works
fine.

What should have happened:
The new cen. schoolbook font should've been used.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
My .Xresources file is readable (so is my .mwmrc.) Simply change any of the
font params at the top of the mwm resources (the *fontlist resources) to any
of the schoolbook fonts to see what I mean.
