Thanks, at the same time that you were posting the following reply, I was fetching the Font-HOWTO fron the RedHat ftp server. It had been a long time since I've added a new font to the system. The help for ttmkfdir is a little misleading. While it creates an output in the format used by fonts.scale, the -o option requires that a file name be given, which means there really isn't a default, i.e., -o with nothing supplied still sends the output to stdout. In any event, the new fonts.dir has been created, xset rehash'd and xfs restarted and now Newscrape displays the page with the new font. Thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated.
