Thanks for oyur reply, this seems to go on and on. I'm still worried by
the fact that after mkfontdir or mkttfdir . >font.dir the font.dir is empty
whereas the eqivalent file in the other font directories is full of all the
font names. Will the commands below populate this file or is something else
missing. I ass "Both need to be world readable too." means I need to
chanage permissions. Presumably chmod a+r ~/TrueType will sufice? I've
never chamged permissions on a dir before. NH
