I'm using xfstt. For me, based on the default debian scripts, the command is xset fp+ unix/:7101 & in my .xinitrc file. Debian's default port is 7101 instead of 7100 when using the /etc/init.d/xfstt script to start xfstt. Anyway, on reboot xfstt should start automagically from that script. The first time, I suggest you type (as root): /etc/init.d/xfstt stop /etc/init.d/xfstt start Then, put the xset fp+... line into your X initiallization (such as .xinitrc as I do). That will make everything automatic. You only need to run xfstt --sync when you add new fonts to the truetype directory. Thanks.
