I'd like to add support for TrueType fonts on my SuSE Linux 6.3 installation, but I'm not sure which fontserver to use. I've taken quick looks at xfsft, xfstt and a japanese server I don't remember the name of right now.
Can anyone recommend a fontserver which is easy to use/install, works well etc.?
I'd wish that SuSE Linux came with a TrueType fontserver on one of its 6 CDs. (I've looked at the CDs but could not find any TT fontserver there)

I vaguely remember needing 'freetype' in section gra to run imglib or something. i think freetype was a tt server. rpm -qi freetype.
freetype is more the library stuff you need. there are two fontserver I know of: xfsft and xfstt. xfstt does only TTF's and xfsft does the other fonts as well. Sadly, both (as far as I know) are not (yet) part of the distribution. Fontserver xfsft: (binary, runs on SuSE 6.2 and probably above) ftp://ftp.metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/fonts/xfsft-1.1.6.linux-i386-libc6.tar.gz that's the place to look for xfsft.
