i've never used this package myself, but I can say how I use TTF fonts in X.. install xfstt drop my .ttf files in /usr/share/fonts/truetype restart xfstt configure X to use localhost:7101 as a fontpath..in afterstep theres a file called autoexec which I have the line xset +fp inet/localhost:7101 & to add the font path..you can also put the font path directly in the XF86Config-4 file I think this is an xfree3 specific way to do it, but I've been using it on half a dozen xfree4 systems for a year and a half now without any issues and I have true type fonts available in everything. at the same time I also get a font server which I can connect other servers to, to use the fonts w/o having to keep them on every single system, works good! nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
