Fluxbox OpenBSD Style - Font not working.

I got the opensdbfish fluxbox theme off of the Fluxbox website (http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/zoom.php?themes/contrib/pekdon_openbsd.jpg)

The font on the screenshot is really nice and a reason i chose to use the theme. I noticed when I first installed it. the font wasnt correct. Did some research and found out the font came with a fontpack called fluxbox-artwiz.. i got it an uncompressed it to my /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts directory. and i updated the openbsd-fish .style fil, but i'm still not seeing it..

I tried installing the new fonts and ran chkfontpath but chkfont path was missing.. I have scoured the web for sources to chkfontpath but havent found any.. chkfontpath comes with the X font server. I dont know if the X font server is installed. I'm assuming it is (if it comes with X).

Anyone made it through a problem like this, or know how i can get chkfontpath?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you should try to add the path of the fluxbox fonts in the XF86Config file manually.

Mine looks something like this:

FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/fluxbox-artwiz-fonts
