Re: [Plug] True Type Fonts


Actually, it worked wonderfully here. RH6, I used a bunch of ttf's
from a CD I had.

I just did this:
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/ttf
cp /path-of-fonts/*.ttf /usr/share/fonts/ttf
cd /usr/share/fonts/ttf
ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
mkfontdir

then added the ttf font dir to the top of xfs's config. Check the 
syntax and make sure you're using it as your font server in your
XF86Config.

When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
