I have read many howto's and they are conflicting. One says tt fonts are built-in, whatever that means, another says they come from the xfs server. One says use ttmkfdir, another says mkttfdir works fine. Currently there is a line referring to port 7100 before the list of font paths in my XF86Config-4 file. I also have xfs running. I also have the tt font path added to the list and I copied the tt fonts from my W95 widnows/font directory, made them all lower case and ran ttmkfdir to create a fonts.dir file. Another howto says to create a fonts.scale file and sort it. One doc says to use the binary in the tar file for ttmkfdir, another says to compile the source with certain options. I probably have a mixture now that won't work. My next attempt is to comment out the port 7100 line and stop xfs. I think this is the "built-in" way. If that don't work, I guess I'll create the fonts.scale file using a newly compiled ttmkfdir.
