Found 5 fonts. Starting X TrueType Font Server: xfstt. I added a new font ... making it 6 fonts debian:/home/testbed# /etc/init.d/xfstt force-reload Reloading X True Type Font Server configuration...Stopping X TrueType Font Server: xfstt not running. xfstt: sync in directory "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/." Found 6 fonts. Starting X TrueType Font Server: xfstt.
