I think you might find ttmkfdir useful. It's like mkfontdir for
truetype fonts. I have used an older version, and I don't know how well
it's being maintained. It's now available at
http://freshmeat.net/redir/ttmkfdir/10789/url_tgz/ttmkfdir.tar.gz .
Hope this helps,

I'm looking for a couple things regarding fonts to make my life easier
when reading text (which is of course very frequent) in X:
An easy way (scripted) to set up truetype fonts. I've got CDs full of
truetype fonts for windows. My X server has truetype support and I
have Xft loaded, but setting up XftConfig and fonts.dir seem
unautomated? mkfontdir won't set up fonts.dir for me.
A bunch of fonts (postscript, truetype, anything that XFree86 can read
with no addons, other than truetype). One of the main things I'm
looking for is a good monospace font with linedraw chars. I've got
plenty of "Times" clones :)
Any suggestions are appricieated.
