Install the xfstt package from the incoming directory of
ftp.mandrake.com. Install the TrueType fonts you want into
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType. Run '/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfstt start'
then 'startx'. The fonts are available to all programs that use the X
font server.
Netscape will work fine like this. WordPerfect WILL NOT. They don't
use the Xserver for fonts, preferring instead to do something completely
incompatible. Complaints should be forwarded to Corel.
