>     ERROR: unknown font foundry code TAKE
I've recently had the same issues with ttf fonts. Unfortunately, this is a 
truetype issue, and not an OS related issue. The issue in this case appears 
to be with the foundry, or the encodings.

The way I solved this (personally, this may or may not work for you) is 
converting them to Type1 fonts (the ttf2pt1 prog at default comes with a 
convert script which automatically converts fonts). The reason I said this 
MAY not work is because, there ARE ttf fonts that just won't work in X, due 
to quite a variety of reasons. At least converting them will get MOST of them 
working, and produce the working fonts.dir, fonts.scale, etc that you need, 
and ignore the rest.

Going through, I noticed that the ttf2pts1 binary is installed in Drake, but 
I'mnot sure if the convert script is there as well. Probably not, but you can 
always re-download the tarball and recompile it for those fonts.

Hope it helped some anyways!
