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. My main confusion is about the line "unix/:7101". Every other entry for fonts is a path and starts with "/" this one doesn't. Is it a path or somthing I'm not familiar with? also which "fonts.dir" is it searching for? I have several on my system, but none called either "unix" or "7101" Have I missed something obvious? I'm running hamm if that makes a difference. Thanks for any hints. John
