Hi Devon,
I already installed the truetype fonts. After restarting
Netscape-Communicator it seems it has some new fonts available
(going to Edit --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Fonts)
seems everything just worked fine.
this is now part of /etc/X11/fs/config
(you remember: I have Redhat 6.2):
-------------------------------------------------
# where to look for fonts
#
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype,
/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,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
----------------------------------------------
(after I deleted a TrueType path manually there that actually didn't
exist before ... I got error messages since some time ago at boot time
concerning this missing path for a TrueType directory ....)
And Netscape seems to have much more readable fonts now ... for
example I previously had problems reading the bottom part of the Yahoo
pages (the part where they show links to other Yahoo areas) because
the fonts where much to small for me too read ... seems this problem
is over now ... :)
and I changed /etc/X11/XF86Config:
commented the following line out, like so:
# FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
and added the following one:
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype"
after backing the file up before changing it ... I'll wait and see
what happens ... :)
BTW: I have xf86ttfontool-0.1-7 running -- installed it here without
any error messages that I'd know of .

Thanks Devon for all your work.
And if you please let me know in case you want to know how
xf86ttfontool worked here on RedHat 6.2
A peaceful Happy 2002 to all of you out there.
Regards
Wolfgang
