In addition to following Dee's excellent instructions for setting up true type fonts for x, I find that the easiest way to start and shut down the ttf server is to: 1. add the line "/usr/X11R6/bin/xfstt &" to your /sbin/init.d/random just before it exits. That way starting xfstt is the last thing that happens before you get a login prompt. Adding it to /sbin/init.d/boot.local starts xfstt too early. 2. add the line "killall xfstt" to /sbin/init.d/halt.local, this way xfstt & doesn't get exec'd again at halt, keeping /usr from being umounted. 3. add the line "xset fp+ unix/:7100" to your .xinitrc Now the true type font server is there when you need it, and you never have to give it a second thought after you set it up the first time. Hope this is helpful. -- ==================================================================== Michael Lankton <A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org"><A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org</A">http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org</A</A>> ==================================================================== - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
