I don't always run X, so I added the xfstt commands to my startx
script. That way I don't start xfstt unless and until I really do need
it. I use the script toggle-xfstt, shown below, and call it as the
first and last commands in startx:
# This script starts/kills the xfstt font server and allows
# a 3 sec delay before the X server is started.
toggle-xfstt
sleep 3
.
.
.
# This script starts/kills the xfstt font server
toggle-xfstt
The toggle-xfstt script:
***************************************************
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z "`ps ax|grep -E ' xfstt'|grep -v 'grep'`" ];
then
echo "There is no xfstt running. Start now"
xfstt --res 105 &
else
echo "There IS an xfstt running. Kill it"
killall -v xfstt
fi
***************************************************
Not elegant, but it works for me.
