Istr that if you make a symlink from your windows fonts directory to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/FOO, then the font family will be "FOO". So, I have: bash$ ll /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ total 1 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 1024 Jan 11 04:13 net/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jan 4 01:30 windows -> \ /windrive/windows/fonts/ Producing: bash$ xlsfonts | grep net -net-startrek film bt-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 bash$ xlsfonts | grep windows -windows-arial black-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -windows-arial narrow special g1-bold-r-normal-bold-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -windows-arial narrow special g1-medium-i-normal-italic-0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 ..etc.. I also seem to remember that you should do "xfstt --sync" (as root) when you add new fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype, and that you can't do this while xfstt is running... (irritatingly). Also, you can avoid having to "xset fp+ ..." in your xinitrc by adding FontPath "unix/:7101" to the "Files" section of /etc/X11/XF86Config, although this will make your X server refuse to start if xfstt is not running for some reason (and if you use xdm you may be in big trouble).
