font server is useful if you want to provide fonts for more than one X server, otherwise you don't have a reason to run it (AFAIK) > how can I use fonts from Windows ? apt-get install msttcorefonts if you have more true type fonts you need to have them accessible from linux, add a font path in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and run mkfontdir for that directory (actually it's mkttfdir for true type fonts, there's also alternate utility with very similar name), not sure if latest mkfontdir supports true type fonts... that's assuming you are using X 4.x which has support for true type fonts, for older X 3.x you'd have to use separate font server (there are few available, not sure which is better) erik
