No, they are 2 different files with different functions. > I have here Redhat 6.2, and I just installed xf86ttfontool, but after > reading 'fetchmsttfonts' it seems, this program works only on redhat > 7.2 or so: > > it says (end of the file): > ----------------------------------- > [ ... ] > if [ -f /etc/X11/XftConfig ]; then > echo -n "Adding true type fonts to /etc/X11/XftConfig...

If XftConfig doesn't exist, the script just exits. The fonts are still added, and should be available for the font server. I'm assuming here that RH 6.2 uses the fontserver? I can't remember, to be honest, and I don't have a 6.2 machine available at present. /etc/X11/XftConfig is used for antialiased font support in XFree86 versions >= 4.0.2. If your version is older, just ignore the warning. > I do not have /etc/X11/XftConfig, it's perhaps something special for > 7.2, so I'm not sure whether I change the 'fetchmsttfonts' script, so > that it says: > > --------- > echo -n "Adding true type fonts to /etc/X11/XF86Config...

Not being sure, but trying to be > careful before messing up things here ... :) You shouldn't have to do anything, the fonts are added to the font servers path, and should work without any changes to the script. I'll modify the script to be a little more clear and rebuild the package in the near future.
