I am trying to get TrueType fonts working under FreeBSD 4.3 I am using XFree86 3.3.6 with Xfstt. I have been reading old mailing list = items for two days trying different things to get TrueType fonts to work = but I have had little luck. I have tried the following. I copied my = window$ ttf fonts over to my server under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType= and ran ttmkfdir > fonts.dir and created the fonts.dir file which has = information inside it about my fonts. Next I set the following in my = .xinitrc file( xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType and xset fp = rehash) when I try to start x I get the following error. failed to set default font path "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" Fatal Server Error: Could not open default font 'fixed' I also tried adding xset +fp unix/:7101 to my .xinitrc file but that = returns an "unable to open display" thanks joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
