Do you have a random windows machine to install it on, and see if it works over there? I think in windows it's a simple matter of copying it to the "fonts" directory (somewhere in c:\windows).

Add another line, pointing to the directory containing your tt fonts. > I can't attach the font because kmail crashes when I try to attach > something, but that's another story. Well, if this doesn't work then we'll have to work out another way for you to get it to me. But it's either a bad font (trying in windows will tell you that) or your xft is misconfigured (and that edit will fix that). I think we're making progress :-) HAND! D.A.Bishop
