It doesn't seem to have stopped it from being included in XFree86
4.0. I'm running that at the moment, and after today's discussion,
have installed said MS TT fonts, and pointed /etc/X11/XF86Config
at them, and everything's hunky-dory.
In fact, I'd have to say that the true-type renderer seems to do
a "nicer" job than the type1 renderer. Smoother/less notchy at
the resolutions that I like to use. Maybe that's just the PS fonts
that I'm comparing them with, though.
About the only problem I've had was (after getting carried away
and putting a bunch of ghostscript and public-domain Type1 fonts
on line), bits of X started complaining that an integer argument
to the FindFont routines was out of range.
Does anyone know whether there should be a limit to the number of
fonts you can have available?
$ xlsfonts | wc -l
1360
