I've tried this and it works. The script should look like $ cat /etc/postinstall/freetype2.sh #!/bin/sh # Create a link to /usr/bin/freetype-config mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/bin ln -sf /usr/bin/freetype-config /usr/X11R6/bin/freetype-config # Create a symbolic link for the windows truetype fonts ln -sf $WINDIR/Fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype rsp. ln -sf `cygpath -Ww` /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype Anywhay, relating to the the thread "ttmkfdir no longer needed" there may be an access problem in symlinking the original windows dir. My question now is: in which package this font handling stuff should go in the freetype package, an already xfree package like fonts or a new "true type package" ? Ralf
