There's absolutely no problem at all using xfstt as your true type font server, and it's nicely packaged as an rpm for 6.4. You can start it as an option in rc.config, the only caveat is that a) follow the naming convention for the directory of your truetype fonts b) follow the instructions to stop the font server loading up too quickly - this is explained on the sdb, just search for xfstt. The fix merely involves deleting part of line in the startup script. c) check your font path in XF86Config, again follow the documentation. And then you can enjoy all your truetype fonts, you can even show off by having them form part of your welcome string in kdm! But best of all you can use them in wretched applications like Nutscrape to slightly improve its looks, while the gimp does fantastic things with your new fonts. The only thing I'd like to do is integrate latex to use my ttfonts collection... k. On Tuesday, October 31, 2000 3:39 PM, Derek Fountain [SMTP:fountai@hursley.ibm.com] wrote:
Fonts haven't, in the past, troubled me much. I could read what was printed, so why bother with improvements?
Still, now I've got KDE-2.0 up and running, the fonts do tend to let it all down a bit. I guess the solution is to use TrueType fonts. What is the normal way of doing this on SuSE Linux?
I have SuSE-6.4, XFree-3.3.6 (can't move to 4.0.x yet) and I use Wordperfect Office quite a bit. I mention this last point because I seem to remember seeing problems with some TTF server and the WPO font thing when run together.
