close, but no ice cream.
xfs is a "hacked" version of xfsft (notice the difference ;-) which is all
fine and dandy, but doesnot support iso8859-8 encoding, nor windows-1255
(or, if it does - it doesnot do so automaticly, and I failed to find where
it says how to enable it , in the docs), so it is usless to use it with
hebrew truetypes.
sides - using xfstt I don't need to make fonts.dir or fonts.scale files -
xfstt handles new fonts automagicly .

Never heard of it before, I'll try - but I doubt if I'll get the right
encodings that I need , that way.

no , checked that - both xfs and xfstt are up and running, but for some
reason , only xfs (which uses the wierd port -1) is supplying fonts.
