I have been using xfstt for ages ! Netscape is happy to use all the TT fonts
I had installed in the Window$ partition ! Netscape looks fabulous using TT
fonts ! xfstt still has the edge on xfs, it's a bit slow at boot time but it
seems to be able to handle more fonts than xfs. xfs bombs when trying to create
fonts.dir etc. (chkfontpath, mkfontdir etc. etc.) when asked to handle all the
TT fonts I have (over 200 thanks to all the Window$ apps.), xfstt just gets on
with it.
