I installed my Windoze True Type fonts in Linux and now Netscape fonts
display beautifully. Here's how I did it:
1. Copy Windoze TT fonts to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ttfonts/
2. Run "ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir" from above directory. (Download ttmkfdir if
you don't have it)
3. Edit the resulting fonts.dir file so it only includes iso-8859-1 char set
fonts. This was necessary to resolve font conflicts on my system. Be sure to
change the first line of fonts.dir to show the actual number of fonts after
you edit the file. You can use "wc -l fonts.dir" to count the number of
fonts.
4. Save fonts.dir after editing
5. Reboot or restart the font server.
6.In Netscape preferences, select the True-Type fonts and sizes you wish to
use. I leave font scaling unchecked. I have "Use document-specified fonts,
including dynamic fonts" checked.
Hope this helps.
