xft font help!

[Kevin Geiss]

long time blackbox user, drawn to openbox for the antialiased fonts and
net wm compliance. But:

I'm trying to get antialiased fonts in openbox, and I need some help.

First, these are things I have done:

outside of X, I added
session.screen0.antialiasFonts: True
to my ~/.openbox/rc file and then "startx"ed 

put a line like this in a stylefile:
*xft.font:        Nimbus Roman
there are no other "font" lines in the style, and "Nimbus Roman" is
a name straight out of my /etc/X11/XftConfig file. (and it works with
"xterm -fa 'Nimbus Roman'")

then when I choose the style file, openbox says this:
BFont::BFont(): couldn't load font 'Nimbus Roman'
Falling back to default 'fixed'

help!
