Well, they work :) This was just a matter of editing the supplied
unix.js from xft nightly (last downloaded Oct 4). I didn't add
anything, just flipped 'true' from false. The libfreetype.so.6 line
was already there. And then following the only instructions I could
find anywhere:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fonts/unix/enabling_truetype.html
It may well have changed by now, or other builds may be doing
something different. Dunno about that. Wouldn't want to add any
unnecessary confusion :/
