CD into that server and install it. XttXF86srv-3DLabs XttXF86srv-8514 XttXF86srv-AGX XttXF86srv-I128 XttXF86srv-Mach32 XttXF86srv-Mach64 XttXF86srv-Mach8 XttXF86srv-Mono XttXF86srv-P9000 XttXF86srv-S3 XttXF86srv-S3V XttXF86srv-SVGA XttXF86srv-VGA16 XttXF86srv-W32 XttXF86srv-common Then cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts mkdir TrueType copy all the truetype fonts from your windows machine into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType now rename every font to lower case (they have to be lower case or else it won't work). At this point you have to install /usr/ports/x11-fonts/ttmkfdir, after this I think you have to cd into your TrueType directory and run this command which will create another file inside that directory, I'm not totally sure about this part though, maybe someone here can correct me. the last step is to edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config (I don't remember where this file is under 3.3.6, it might under /etc) and go to font section, it looks like this: FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" The just add FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/" put it in third counting from the top line. See if it works. Fred Ciesla wrote: > I am running FreeBSD4.7-stable on my laptop and am using XFree863.3.6 > because XFree864 is not compatible with my hardware.
