A few steps: You need to enable a module in the X4 configuration that gives you truetype fonts support, for example the "xtt" module (see /etc/X11/XF86Config-4). Then you need to put your font descriptions (those .ttf and .fon files) in a directory, for example in /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType. Also you've got to add this directory to your font path in the XF86Config-4 configuration file. Now you have to install the "fttools" package to get the mkttfdir utility. Use that utility to create a fonts.dir file in the directory you put your truetype font files in. This should do the trick. At least, it worked for me :-) Cheers, Remco.
