See http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/mini/TT-Debian-3.htmlIn a magazine I've found a CD with many ttf files for the use with Photoshop under windows.What's the straightforward way to install those ttf files under debian woody for the use with gnome 1.4, OpenOffice, and - above all - the Gimp?
Briefly:
1. Install xfs and xfstt using apt-get.
2. Configure xfs:
Modify /etc/X11/fs/config as necessary andrestart xfs ('xfs restart').
Verify XFS is working ('fslsfonts -server unix/:7100').
Modify /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
EndSection
4. Verify xfs fonts are visible:
Restart X and run command 'xlsfonts'.
5. Copy ttf fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ and set permissions to 0444 (user read, group read, other read).
6. Configure xfstt:
Restart the xfstt server ('xfstt force-reload').
Modify /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7101" # ttf fonts preferred
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
EndSection
6. Verify xfstt fonts are visible:
Restart X and run command 'xlsfonts | grep ttf'.
7 Install extra ttf fonts by copying ttf fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ and set permissions to 0444 (user read, group read, other read), then run 'xfs restart' to make them available.
