The font server RH6.1 installs by default will also do TT fonts. I made a
directory /usr/share/fonts/truetype, added that to my /etc/X11/fs/config
file, dumped some truetype fonts in there, and then ran mkfontdir in that
directory, and then restarted X. (Someone check me on this -- IIRC that's
all I had to do.) Of course, if you upgraded from an earlier version of
RHL, you've probably got an XF86Config file with multiple FontPath lines
specifying each font directory. Don't know if just adding the TT path will
work there, I'd replace those with:
FontPath "unix/:-1"
if xfs is running, and make sure /etc/X11/fs/config has the appropriate
font paths there like so:
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
[and so on]
I used to use xfstt, and IIRC, the implementation follows the docs in the
INSTALL file. You can skip the xset command if you restart X after
launching xfstt (I'd do it as root, from a VC), and be sure to start xfstt
from /etc/rc.d/rc.local or somesuch.
I wouldn't use both methods at the same time, however.
