Wait, it's looking better now. When I first installed intlfonts-1.1,
somehow I missed the instructions about running mkfontdir (which
didn't get run because I didn't do a full installation, perhaps?).
I've now run that, and the standard fontset looks much better for some
reason. Hitting C-h h gives me a screen full of all sorts of pretty
fonts, too.
