And an extra tip... 6: Modify /etc/X11/XftConfig so that in mentions all your directories with scalable fonts in a 'dir "path"' statement!
I have the following list at the top of the file: dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType" dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont" dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont" dir "/opt/Office51/fonts/type1/" dir "/usr/share/abisuite/fonts/" dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/tt_win" (/opt/Office51 is staroffice, and I copied some ttf windows fonts. I believe AA works with both ttf and type1 fonts, so that's why I list them both) --Tim
