Wait a second before switching to window$.
I was able to find an rpm for xfstt. I installed it on my Mandrake 6.1
and
put some ttf on the directory where xfstt pointed me to. Get it from
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake/apps/RPMS/Xfstt-0.9.
10.-2.i386.rpm. Since Mandrake is basically Redhat, IMHO it will also
work for you.

The ttmkfdir seemed to work okay, but restarting xfs totally cracked up
the Xserver and left me out in the cold :-)
Seriously, the Xserver went down and I couldn't restart, kept getting
the 'UNIX/:-1' error I've seen on the list... (can't find any solutions
there either)
HISTORY::: The initial OS installation worked well and had ttfonts as
far as I know (I didn't work with it much as I was trying to get
everything up to speed).
Now I have no ttf or Type 1 from the /usr/share/.. directory.
The only way I could get the Xserver up was to comment out the UNIX/:-1
line, but that has problems, apparently (not sure what the heck I'm
doing there). I'm sorta left with a crippled X and not ttf at all ( as
well as a shortage of other fonts, it seems).
I've looked arround, but all the docs and sites seem to refer to xfstt,
not the new xfs.
Is there a way to get back at least to where I was? What goes wrong to
give the directory path UNIX/:-1 error?
I'm a little stumped and I can't seem to RTFM on any of this :-)
BTW, I've tried some of the 'solutions' I've seen here on the list, like
the tcp ports, full filesystem, permission probs in tmp, etc...
It's a pain as I can't really do the work I want to on my web pages
without ttf...
such is life.
I'm starting to consider a reinstall. Might as well be using windows :-)
