The fonts are in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
Xvesa also has some built-in fonts (5x8 6x13) which do 
not appear in that directory.

Font labels are defined in fonts.dir
That gives Xvesa five fonts: 9x15 11x19 14x24 r14 r12

Font aliases are defined in fonts.alias
That redirects various common fonts to the existing labels.

In order to save space, most of the fonts in BL3 have been
stripped of international characters.  If you need those
characters, you can replace the BL3 font files with ones 
from Slackware (the filenames will be the same).  Or you
could simply install (pkg) the entire font package from
Slackware to give you a full set of fonts.  

Cheers,
Steven
