Chances are you don't have truetype fonts enabled. I'm not familiar with RedHat distros, but I'll assume you're using at least 4.x of XFree86. If so, it should support true-type fonts out of the box, so you probably just need to configure it correctly.
You might want to check out the Font-HOW-TO, available at: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Font-HOWTO-4.html It discusses how to set up fonts in X, including truetype fonts. hth --kurt On Tuesday 16 October 2001 h:38 pm, you wrote: > I have installed Red Hat 7.0 and configured XFree86 using Xconfigurator. > > I have an ATI All-in-Wonder video card and a ViewSonic VG175 flat panel > monitor.
