*** Depends whether your running xfree 3.x or 4. In 4 truetype fonts are handled internally while in 3 you need a font server like xfs. Place your ttf files in some directory (ie:/usr/fonts). If you're using 4 add that path to XF86Config-4. Also make sure in the modules section your are loading the "freetype" module. Restart X If you're using 3 then you have to add that path to your Font servers config file. Assuming you're using xfs as the server on redhat the file is /etc/X11/fs/config (man xfs will probably tell you the appropriate path for your distro). Add the fontpath to the catalog section; restart xfs & X If you want to use those truetype fonts in StarOffice they'll have to be converted. Make sure truetype fonts are working in other X programs before fiddling with Star. > > > -- > -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- > Version: 3.12 > GCM d-(--)@ s-:+ a-- C++ UL>+++ P>++ L+>++ E- W++ N- o?
