used under SuSE 5.2 running Accelerated-X and Gimp 1.0. An example of the logo script-fu output is at <A HREF="http://www.wdm.com"><A HREF="http://www.wdm.com</A">http://www.wdm.com</A</A>> (Sure work fine also with XSuSE as well!) Needed was Xfstt-0.9.9.tgz, which I unpacked in /usr/local/xfstt. Then I put the downloaded .ttf fonts in /usr/ttfonts.
Then I followed some instructions send from "Geremy F." <geremy@ee.gatech.edu> :
What I wish there was support for, or maybe there is and I don't know it, are the Type 1 fonts! True Type fonts are another screw up from MickySoft....they ALL load in memory on bootup, or at least they do on ALL MS software. Fred -- Fred A. Miller, Systems Administrator Cornell Univ.

You've done everyone a service. Those are the most concise instructions for running ttf fonts in linux I've seen. W.D.McKinney wrote:
