	Hmm... Normally IceWM should automatically add  
/usr/lib/icewm/themes/Infadel2 to your font path as soon as it finds the 
.pcf file. Hmm... X11 needs this ugly "fonts.dir" files before it accepts 
a font directory. Could you check if /usr/lib/icewm/themes/Infadel2 
contains "fonts.dir"? If there isn't such a file the installation process 
might have failed. Did configure/make install print any error messages 
about mkfontdir?

No go there.  Here is the fonts.dir

corith ~ # ls -la /usr/lib/icewm/themes/Infadel2/fonts.dir 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           73 Jul  8 08:14 /usr/lib/icewm/themes/Infadel2/fonts.dir
corith ~ # cat /usr/lib/icewm/themes/Infadel2/fonts.dir 
1
snap.pcf -artwiz-snap-regular-r-normal-sans-10-10-75-75-p-62-iso8859-1
corith ~ # 

Pretty cool eh?  The only thing that I can think of, is that my shell
isn't expanding the * in the error message?  Just for more info, here is
the error message again:

IceWM: Warning: Could not load font "-artwiz-snap-regular-r-normal-sans-10-*".


There were not any errors in configure, make, or make install.
