Hi,
I recently installed xfstt.
This is what I did:
I mounted my bin98 partition (and updated fstab to load it every time)
from /usr/lib/share/fonts/truetype, I did ln -s
/dos/c/windows/fonts/*.ttf .
I then had to edit /etc/X11/XF86Config
in the FontPath section I added to the end
,unix/:7101
Then to test it I used xfontsel.
the far left box now has an additional thingy - ttf. if you know how
fontsel works, then that should be enough.
Note: when I added the font path initially got the / and the : the
wrong way round - xdm refused to start, and kept trying to restart - so
temporarily remove/didable xdm (if you use it) to be on the safe side or
keep a rescue disk handy.
