I'm hardly an expert on this, but I can tell you what I did to get it working. First of all, check the xfstt man page, especially the --sync option.
When I set this up a few weeks ago, I also had no luck until I ran xfstt with the --sync option. What this apparently did was generate two files in my /usr/share/fonts/truetype directory named ttinfo.dir and ttname.dir, and after that, when xfstt started up on boot (from the /etc/init.d/xfstt script), I had the ttf fonts available in Netscape etc. I believe the command line I used was just: /usr/X11R6/bin/xfstt --sync The man page also states that xfstt should NOT be already running when you use xfstt with the --sync option. It doesn't explain why :-) Then you do also need the 'xset fp+ unix/:7101 &' line in your xinitrc or whatever. You can also just execute that line manually just to see if things are working. Verify it with the 'xlsfonts | grep ttf' command, as you were doing before. Good luck, Tom rich wrote: > > Howdy all, > > I'm having trouble getting Netscape and Wordperfect to recognize my > TTFs... I've installed xfstt (it's loaded during boot-up), but when I do > a "xlsfonts | grep ttf" I get nothing... I've also done "ln -s > /dos_c/windows/fonts /usr/share/fonts/truetype/winfonts" as per xfstt > documentation... I know that I'm probably supposed to add the line "xset > fp+ unix/:7101&" to my xinitrc (?), but that doesn't do anything.... any > ideas? > > Thanks in advance, > > Rich > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null -- Try Debian GNU/Linux - it's free, it's open source, and it rocks http://www.debian.org
