You can just use Konqueror to browse to your fonts and use the appropriate option in the context menu to install the selected fonts. If you want to do the font installation by hand, as you described, you have to make sure that X is aware of the directory where your font files reside and that the directory is properly prepared. This is best described in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-fonts.html I hope that helps. michael
