It was a pretty uneventful installation, but read /usr/doc/xfstt/FAQ.gz. In particular there are some details regarding choosing font size for netscape. What I did, in a nutshell, was -Set up symlinks from /dosc/windows/fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/winfonts -Start up the font server: /etc/init.d/xfstt start -Add to the Files section of /etc/X11/XF86Config: FontPath "unix/:7101" -Restart X and set up netscape as per the FAQ. your pal dave -- Dave Thayer Denver, Colorado USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
