There is a third option xfs-xtt which replaces xfs for normal fonts and xfstt for TrueType fonts. I use it with XFree-4 and the biggest difference is that the fonts in Netscape are scaled properly and look good. This is what the docs say: This package provide X-TrueType font server. This is compatible normal X font server, but added X-TrueType font handling scheme support instead of FreeType backend. XFree86 4.0's font server can handle TrueType too, but it can not handle TTCap.

Re: xfstt gives only one true type font size
I have set up xfstt and am able to use true type fonts but when i choose a font , e.g. in Netscape i get only one font size to choose from (listed as size 0). When i set up true type fonts in Linux/Mandrake I also created a fonts.dir and fonts.scale in the truetype directory and then had a choice of font sizes. The Debian How-To doesn't mention creating fonts.dir and fonts.scale and using mkfontdir just created an empty file. What is missing to produce multiple ttf sizes?

My finding was that xfstt did a better job with the TT fonts than xfs-xtt as xfs-xtt seemed to be more ragged than with xfstt. Also, with xfstt, the Netscape and Mozilla text displays are larger, which is a big help on a 14 inch LCD locked in 1024x768 mode. I recommend xfstt as it is also a simpler install.

Antonio Rodriguez wrote: I have been looking at the info xfstt, and i really didn't understand whats that with xset fp+ unix/:7101 Can you explain what this means, and what exactly I have to do? Okay, this is of the top of my head, because I don't have Linux at work. The X server can get his fonts from a directory or over a network connection. So the fp+ tells the X-Server to look for fonts in an additional location and the unix/:7101 tells him where to look. I think you have to issue that command as root, after starting X. So to try out xfstt, do the following in a xterm: xfstt -- start xfstt in the background -- wait a couple of seconds xset fp+ unix/:7101 -- add the new fontpath After that you should have true type fonts until you end your current X session. If you like xfstt, you can automate that job, by installing an init script that starts xfstt at boot time (which Debian does for you if you install xfstt from dselect or apt-get) and adding the unix/:7101 to your fontpath in the global XF86Config file (which you have to do yourself). Man XF86Config should help you with the latter.

Copy or unarchive them into a folder. Default is, IIRC, /usr/share/fonts/truetype. Note that the MS EULA for fonts specifically allows their use on different machines. Some of the fonts, however, don't render for me. Or otherwise, how do you get the fonts? There are various sources of TT fonts, including websites, CDs available at office supply stores, peddlers on street corners, large men in dark alleys Just copy the *.ttf files to the appropriate directory.

Re: xfstt - Confusion?
Well, I bet you have xfstt package from hamm. It was old and broken. Get xfstt from slink - it should work fine. The actual xfstt executable is indeeed located in /usr/X11R6/bin. In /etc/init.d thereis a script that is used to start and stop the daemon. Another thing: the slink version of xfstt keeps fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype Good luck. Sergey.

Re: xfstt obsoleted?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- On 30 Nov 1998, Gossamer wrote: xfstt has suddenly started showing up in my dselect list as Obselete! What replaces it? I like truetype fonts in X. What Obsolete/local means is that the package does not show up in the list of available packages for download from the ftp server, or from the CD ROM. It by no means indicates that a package is obsolete or shouldn't be used anymore. For example, I installed apt on my Debiann 2.0 system. Apt is part of 2.1, and was not included in 2.0 at all. When I look at apt in dselect, it shows up as being obsolete. That's not because it is, but because it is not in the Packages file (list of available packages) that gets shown when I update the 2.0 package list. Dselect has no idea where that package came from, so it assumes that it's either obsolete and no longer included in the distribution, or it's a local package of some non-Debian software.

Carpenter wrote: well this si a FIXME of sorts) :) xfstt currently requires write acess to a font database it stores (which by all rights should be in /var) as it stands this is in the same directory as the fonts... Why exactly xfstt requires write access when it is invoked with --daemon option and does not when without ? I don't see any reason to write unless we do --sync. Moreover, it should not quit when the write fails (again, unless ussued --sync option). May be you'd better correct that and leave database in place (/usr/share). Sergey.

Adding FontPath unix/:7101 solved the problem. I don't know why the xfstt installation doesn't put this in there for you automatically, or at least tell you to do it after adding ttf fonts to the proper directory, but it should. Also, why the switch to unix/:7101? Because unix/:7100 conflicts with xfs (though I never had problems)? Say, when is someone going to package xfsft for Debian anyways?

I don't know why the xfstt installation doesn't put this in there for you automatically, well...as the xfstt maintainer I will say this... adding the fontpath to XF86Config would be a bad idea. xfstt can not do this itself. If you installed it as part of a massive installation and had no fonts ready to go...it would be a Bad Thing. If xfstt wasn't properly ready and started (which since xfstt can't come with any fonts it can't be setup and running automatically) and its in the fontpath...the xserver wont run. or at least tell you to do it after adding ttf fonts to the proper directory, but it should. yes it should...this is wishlist bug#22912 (originally opened 68 days ago) I am working on this...will hopefully be in the next upload (with hopefully the final bug squashing for the init.d script) Also, why the switch to unix/:7101?

I wanted to move it for a while then bug# 24238 came along and I realized I wasn't the only one wanting it changed...so I did it. Say, when is someone going to package xfsft for Debian anyways? hmmm I thought about it once. I chose to package xfstt because it was easier. the main problem right now with xfsft is xbase. I read on the X Strike Force Web page (I forget the URL) about plans to split up xbase so that xdm, xfs etc are separate packages...that will make xfstft much easier to package I think (since it is a full replacement for xfs) hope this info helps...and I will be working on adding some notification (tho it is all in the docs ;) ...one of the reasons I took over xfstt was because it didn't have hardly any docs in /usr/doc/xfstt) -Steve Remco van de Meent wrote: On Thu, 6 Aug 1998, Christopher Barry wrote: : I recently grabbed the latest xfstt from Slink and I removed the old : xfstt first before upgrading (maybe this is where I went wrong). : Anyways, the new xfstt installed without giving any error messages but : when I started X and Netscape, Netscape was no longer using truetype : fonts and I could no longer select them from edit - preferences - : fonts.

I'm assuming the problem lies with init.d but the above thread seemed to suggest that the latest xfstt installs the proper init.d for you so once you copy over the ttf fonts and add the FontPath line to XF86Config you are set to go, but I'm not there yet as I must manually start xfstt in another console. So what do I need to do? The latest version of xfstt is in slink (unstable). It works (I mean.. _I_ am using it :) ) It DOES have an init.d script...and the script works fine for me...still might get some tweaking tho...

This will also be fixed RSN (at the same time as the port 7100 thing) The current version has already moved the location of the truetype fonts dir from /var/ttfonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype this is because /var/ttfonts violates both the fsstnd and the fhs very flagrantly. -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All authority is quite degrading. -- Oscar Wilde pgpYOKpkxOqcW.pgp Description: PGP signature

I may have missed the last day of this thread. It is ok :) I also am using xfstt to serve my TrueType fonts. It is not all that bad a package. Problem is there is no startup with the Xfstt 0.9.7. Documentation is almost none. I am running an up-to-date Hamm system. I would recommend checking out xfstt 0.9.9 which is in slink (unstable) So here is my very first hack. I used the /etc/init.d/xfs for a base and created the file /etc/init.d/xfstt, (bottom of message). I did that too initally...then ended up just re-writting myself (I am the xfstt maintainer BTW) This was done in version 0.9.8 and is still in in 0.9.9 (with some tweaking) NB: There is a bug in 0.9.9! /etc/init.d/xfstt is NOT a conffile (will be fixed RSN...within a few days...sorry...lately ive been forced to have a social life) so if you install it you will loose your version unless you back it up...sorry I modifid /etc/X11/config to mirror the xfs entry. I used XFSTT in upper-case here due to test conflicts between the init.d xfs and xfstt scripts. (bad hacking) in the NEXT version I will also be moving the port number of xfstt to 7101 to avoid the conflict with xfs (it is already using /usr/share/fonts/truetype instead of /var/ttfonts) Then using the SysV Init Editor in KDE I added the xfstt just below the xfs lines. xfstt needs be running before xdm, (in my case anyway). Yes...This is because your font server is looking for xfstt because it is a hard coded font path. The X Server panics when it can't connect...I call that an X Server bug myself... (BTW the latest version also allows multiple simultaneous connections) This was just a quick fix. If someone would like to tune this up I would be greatfull. This worked for me. Please use it carefully. I did lock my system hard if xfstt was not running when xdm starts up! just be carefull...back up your files and try the latest version and let me know what you think of how I did itany suggestions are apreciated -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- */ A favorite quote from a source I forget: Only Microsoft can take an algorithim that has been under years of public scrutiny and weaken it to the point where the entire key space can be searched in 3 days -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Unlike the bo-hamm upgrade...slink as of yet makes no major changes... in fact form a currrent hamm system...I only needed to download 13 MB of files to make a current slink system (as of 2 days ago) of course the pitfalls mentioned before still apply to xfstt anyway -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- */ A favorite quote from a source I forget: Only Microsoft can take an algorithim that has been under years of public scrutiny and weaken it to the point where the entire key space can be searched in 3 days -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null Thanks for the GOOD information. Looks like I will be getting just a little slink ;-) Bill Bell __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Re: xfstt
I have xfstt font server thing installed and functioning. I was just wondering if I can have that load on boot. If so which file do I edit. Check that you have '/etc/init.d/xfstt' and appropriate links pointing in /etc/rc*.d . For example 'etc/rc2.d/S20xfstt' where xfstt is started at runlevel 2. The number is a priority, for getting things started in right order, for example netbase with 18 means it will be started before exim with 20. --j -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
