You don't specify what Xserver are using. If you are trying to set the 4.0.x version, searching the debian-user mailing list you will found useful info. Anyway, the xfs-xtt/xfstt (correct me if i'm wrong) are only useful with XServer 3.3.x. I remember that you need to run a command in the font dir with xfstt (but don't remember what), you will find explained this in the manual... Andrea
