On Thu. Sep. 19, 2002 at 23:19:54 -0500 GMT, a lone cry was heard from 
Greg Macek <it-guy@xxxxxxxxxx> in the wasteland called the Internet:

> I've tried this and a lot of other things on my machine (7.3, XF4.2)
> to get my TTF working again, but no avail. Following the first part of
> the instructions below gets me a fonts.scale file that is around 26K
> in size, listing all the fonts in the truetype directory. That's fine.
> However, fonts.dir is still set to 2 bytes, only containing a "0". 

(1) Go to the directory of your truetype fonts.

(2) Run:

	ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir

(3) Make sure that you have loaded the freetype module in the "Module"
section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config, ie:

	load "freetype"

(4) Make sure that the path of your truetype fonts is in the  "Files"
section.

(5) If the truetype module was loaded before, run:

	xset fp rehash

If the truetype module was not load before hand, restart X.

These instructions only apply if you are not using a font server.
