I have XFree 4.0.3 and I'm using xfstt. It works fine for me. There may be other alternatives, but this is what I was using in 3.3.6, and so I just carried it over to 4.0. Once you get xfstt installed, add: FontPath "unix/:7101" to /etc/X11/XF86Config, and make sure xfstt starts before X. I do this by creating a xfstt.sh and a xserver.sh in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d. the contents of xfstt.sh are: #!/bin/sh PREFIX=/usr/X11R6 case "$1" in start) ${PREFIX}/bin/xfstt --sync >/dev/null ${PREFIX}/bin/xfstt --user nobody --notcp --daemon && echo -n ' xfstt' ;; stop) /usr/bin/killall xfstt 2>/dev/null && echo -n ' xfstt' ;; *) echo "$0 start | stop" ;; esac (this actually comes with the port) Joe Clarke On Wed, 20 Jun 2001, Radhika Sambamurti wrote: > I am trying to install True Type fonts and have followed > the steps as written in the handbook.
