HD Install :: difficulties with themes and fonts

Enjoying DSL 1.0rc1 on my laptop very much,  but I want to get those awesome sidpack themes on my fluxbox - so I have installed the styles and backgrounds into appropriate dir's in /usr/share/fluxbox
I also followed the font install described on this forum for the artwiz fonts - except there is no "update-fonts-dir misc " command in sbin so did the -alias and -size updates instead (maybe that was dumb, I don't know) and inserted the "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc" into the filetools.lst in my /home/dsl
anyway,  trouble is no fonts and no backgrounds   but the menus do change color...
 Any help is much appreciated
