Sure! I'm going to assume that your fonts are in the root
of the CD (though I know that's not true!) Modify this
accordingly.
ls -1 /mnt/cdrom/ | awk '{printf ("/mnt/cdrom/%s /<your font
dir>/%s\n",$1,$1)}' | xargs ln -s
Then run mkttfdir. All you're doing is creating symbolic links to the
CD. Of course, now you can't remove the CD....

Subject: Re: Truetype fonts in RH6.0
I have a cd with over 2600 tty fonts that I purchased for my win machine
over a year ago. I tried leaving the cd mounted and accessing the fonts
directly from it, but it wouldn't take - seems it wants to write a
fonts.dir file to the cd. Near as I can tell mkttfdir wants all ttf and
fonts.dir to be in the same folder. Is there any way around this other
than to cp them to the hard drive (old system short on memory)?
