Re: xfstt - Confusion?
Well, I bet you have xfstt package from hamm. It was old and broken. Get xfstt from slink - it should work fine. The actual xfstt executable is indeeed located in /usr/X11R6/bin. In /etc/init.d thereis a script that is used to start and stop the daemon. Another thing: the slink version of xfstt keeps fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype Good luck. Sergey.

xfstt - Confusion?
Merry Christmas All! After reading several recent postings, I decided to try installing some true type fonts using xfstt. I did the following: 1. copied some .ttf fonts from my windows95 disk to /var/ttfonts 2. ran xfstt --sync 3. edited XF86Config by adding FontPath unix/:7101 as the next line in the area of XF86Config that has all the FontPath directories listed. 4. quit xwindows (fvwm95) 5. ran startx - it failed with the following error _FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 failed to set default font path ' listed all the font paths including unix/:7101 fatal server error: could not open default font fixed etc,etc I then tried the command xset +fp unix/:7101 - it failed with the following: xset: bad font path element (#38), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax.

Try this: execute (as root) /etc/init.d/xfstt start. This works for me. I've been too lazy to seek a fix for this since I so seldom reboot.
