In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, under Section "Files", add FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/truetype". Put your truetype font files (*.ttf) in this directory, making sure they are all lower case. You can copy the files from W95 in the /windows/fonts directory, then make them all lower case.
You can find ttmkfdir at: http://www.joerg-pommnitz.de/TrueType/ttmkfdir.tar.gz. Uncompress and unzip it in a temporary directory. Run the provided executable like so: ./ttmkfdir.linuxbin.glibc2 -d /usr/lib/X11/fonts/truetype -o /usr/lib/X11/fonts/fonts.dir --- Hall Stevenson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >On Mon, 11 Dec 2000 22:52:10 Rick Loga wrote: >> I have XF86Free 4.0.1 and followed docs on installing true type fonts, >> which were to copy the tt fonts from my W95 box, use ttmkfdir, and change >> the config file XF86Config-4.
