I believe that there is now a port for various TTF fonts, but when I did it, there were not. So I went to Micro$oft, downloaded their TTF 16-bit 'exe' files and unzipped them (they are just self-extracting ZIP files). I ran whatever magic command I needed (I think it was ttmkfontdir or something like that) to index them. Then start xfstt, and tell your X server to use the font server for fonts, by adding FontPath "unix/:7101" to your XF86Config. Now you have the truetype fonts. Making your apps use them is another matter... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
