You need to get the bitstream vera fonts and libertine fonts installed and perhaps the "msft ttf core fonts" I'm not sure what they OpenSUSE package is called.
John says that he built the microsoft ttf package and the X-font preview window shows the IBM characters, but if he starts an X-term with that font, it doesn't show the 8-bit characters.
It's also not as large a font size as it was in 9.0. Any ideas why it isn't working?
