Actually, the Red Hat font server handles True Type fonts by default.
Just copy the fonts to /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType and run
"ttmkfdir ." in that directory.
You might have to edit /etc/X11/fs/config to add this path (Raw Hide [and
therefore 6.2] has it in by default, prior versions don't).
Your installation information is essentially correct, but please add the
other method described above as the preferred method for Red Hat Linux and
derived distributions. xfsft (which we're using in the standard font
server) generally gives better results than xfstt.
xfstt is more the solution for people who don't have a TrueType
capable font server (e.g. users of SuSE Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD) and don't
want to patch and recompile it.
