Moreover, it's redundant. We have [b], [i], [icode], and [code] for nearly everything people try to use crazy fonts for.

I'd also suggest disabling the rich-edit mode Image. Now that I know it exists, I suspect it's responsible for a lot of the font and color offenses, especially the multiply-embedded [font][font][font] nonsense; they just keep editing until it "looks right" for them and never see the mess they are making. Not to mention the strange folk who are baffled by the very concept of code tags. Inside the context of rich-edit it doesn't make sense -- a button to turn a line of text into a block?

dxmkfontdir(1X) 														   dxmkfontdir(1X)

Name
       dxmkfontdir - Create a list of fonts for the X server.

Syntax
       dxmkfontdir [directory-names]

Description
       The  dxmkfontdir  command  creates  files  that list font names and the font files to which the names correspond, for use when the X server
       starts up.  In each directory specified as a command argument, dxmkfontdir creates the directory's list of fonts and places it  in  a  file
       called fonts.dir.  If you omit arguments, dxmkfontdir creates a fonts.dir file for the current directory.

       The  fonts.dir file lists each font file and gives the name of the font in that file.  To obtain font names, dxmkfontdir searches the files
       in the directory for a property named FONT. If the FONT property is absent, dxmkfontdir uses the names of PCF (.pcf), BDF (.bdf), and  com-
       pressed BDF (.bdf.Z) files, omitting their suffixes.  If a font exists in multiple formats, the PCF format is used.

       When  the  X server starts up, it looks for a fonts.dir file in each font directory in the font path.  It also looks for a fonts.alias file
       in each directory.

Font Aliases
       You can create or edit the fonts.alias file to assign new names to existing fonts.  X clients can then use the alias names to request fonts
       from  the server.  A font alias file can be in one or any number of directories in the font path.  It consists of two columns, separated by
       white space.  The first column lists aliases; the second column contains font name patterns.  Aliases can reference  fonts  in  directories
       other than the one in which the alias file exists.

       To embed white space in the alias name or the font name, enclose the name in  quotation marks ("").  To embed quotation marks (or any other
       characters), precede them with a backslash (.   The following are sample entries from a fonts.alias file:

       courier10			   fixed
       /udir/sally/fonts/courier/10.pcf    "-adobe-helvetica-bold-o-normal--
					    24-240-15-75-p-104-1508859-1"

       If the fonts.alias file contains the string FILE_NAMES_ALIASES alone on a line, each file name in the directory (without its  .pcf  suffix)
       is automatically translated as a font name alias. For example, a file named courier10.pcf would have the font name alias courier10.
