Hello,
        I've installed xfsft according to directions on a HOW-TO.  I redid this
HOW-TO and put down every single step, command line by command line in getting
TrueType fonts working.  It can be found in it's current rough state at
http://www.firstnethou.com/gz/xfsft_HOW-TO.html

        But it's not working!
I	When I do startx
I get "Fatal server error:  could not open default font 'fixed'".
        If I comment out the line
   FontPath      "tcp/localhost:7100"   
in XF86Config then I can start X just fine.

        By the way, this may give a clue.

        I did:
xfs -port 7100 -config /etc/xfs.conf 
        then just open up another console and do
ps ax|grep xfs
        and I get  
root@host-name:/usr/home/russian > ps ax |grep xfs
 2820  ?  S    0:00 xfs -port 7100 -config /etc/xfs.conf
 2846  ?  S    0:00 grep xfs           

        which is good.  So then I do 
/usr/X11R6/bin/fslsfonts -server localhost
        and I get nothing.  No fonts, nothing.

Does this mean that the TrueTypes are not loaded?
        What about the command
xlsfonts
        It list tons of fonts.  How do you tell the TrueTypes from the Type 1 ?
 Is there a way to list just the TrueType fonts?

Any ideas?  I don't have Times New Roman, Arial, or Courier in place yet.  I
have others like Verdana ect though.

Thanks
George
