Thanks for that link. xfontsel uses the X core fonts (old system) and it doesn't list ms fonts (nor xlsfonts does).
I followed the guide and added /usr/share/fonts/msttcore/ to the font path in xset after creating the fonts.dir etc. but it doesn't make any difference.
I'm using Fedora 17.
But no problem.
