I ve done this change a few weeks ago. Both worked fine for me. I believe that (xfs + xfstt) use less memory than xfs-xtt, right now on my system RSS of xfs-xtt is ~3.5K but this seems to depend on configuration and usage (how many TTF requests from your apps) Main advantages for me: - I can use font aliases now for the TTFs (i need that to properly display greek sites in Netscape) - A little better rendering (maybe just my imagination, dont count on this) Difficulties: Not many, although documentation of xfs-xtt seems a little scary at first glance. I just wrote a "fonts.dir" by hand with entries like:
arial.ttf -ttf-arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 I made also a relevant "fonts.alias" put them together with all TTFs in a directory Then add the directory name in xfs catalogue (/etc/X11/xfs/config) and restart xfs. I still dont fully understand the dpi-relevant options of the story currently i have to add a -dpi 100 in my startx command to see TTFs a little bigger on my screen. mit freundlichen Grussen :)) from Athens-Greece On 13-Aug-2000 Jan Ulrich Hasecke wrote: > Hi! > > I am currently running xfs + xfstt on Potato with xserver-i128.
