I've installed xfstt (it's loaded during boot-up), but when I do > a "xlsfonts | grep ttf" I get nothing... I've also done "ln -s > /dos_c/windows/fonts /usr/share/fonts/truetype/winfonts" as per xfstt > documentation... I know that I'm probably supposed to add the line "xset > fp+ unix/:7101&" to my xinitrc (?), but that doesn't do anything.... any > ideas? > > Thanks in advance, > > Rich I spent an hour last night & finally got it working correctly after trying a number of different methods. In the end this worked best, for me. Created a file with the following in it. xfstt --sync xfstt --res 120 & xset fp+ inet/127.0.0.1:7100 NOTE: xfstt looks for the fonts, by default, in /usr/ttfonts. Thats where mine are. If yours are elsewhere you have to symlink. The xset fp+ inet/127.0.0.1:7100 works where th unin/:7100 didn't. Now whenever I want ttf I just run that little file. That was at 2AM so haven't done anything else since then. HTH -- Nobody said computers were going to be polite. _______________________________________________________ Wayne T.
