Why don't you install the xfstt Debian package from slink? It will take care of all the necessary steps for you, including a startup script in /etc/init.d linked from the appropriate rc*.d directories. The xfstt in hamm is broken and should not be used. Package: xfstt Status: install ok installed Priority: extra Section: x11 Installed-Size: 167 Maintainer: Stephen J. Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 0.9.10-6 Depends: libc6, libstdc++2.9 Conffiles: /etc/init.d/xfstt c3078ebe8e24137fbc2370a7079fcd54 Description: TrueType Font Server for X11 xfstt means "X11 Font Server for TT fonts". TT fonts are generally regarded to be the best scalable fonts for displays. Applications needing scalable fonts that are to be displayed on a screen benefit most. This server will allow X11 applications to use the exact same fonts as the TrueType fonts used on most Windows Machines. NB: This package contains NO FONTS. They MUST be obtained separately -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
