Where do I put Xfstt & to start the TTF font server automatically? sbin/init.d/boot.local? What about xset fp unix/:7101? This cannot be started as root, and must be started after X. So where?
I can't speak for xfstt with certainty but I assume the procedure is the same as for xfs:
1. The best place to start it is, as you surmised, /sbin/init.d/boot.local. Be sure to provide the full pathname in the call. Also, it's a good idea to echo a ``Starting xfstt'' message.
I use a script in /sbin/init.d to start xfsft. It's symlinked from ../rc3.d But that's a philisophical question. ;-))
2. The writeups are confusing about this xset business. The xset command affects only the current invocation of X. What you want to do is to put ``unix/:7101'' within the FontPaths in /etc/XF86Config. The best place is after the unscaled fonts.
like: Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" FontPath "unix/localhost:7101" ...
By the way, XFree86 version 4.0 will have built-in TrueType support, I'm told by the author of xfsft. Hooray!
yes. This will be xfxft, since it's capable to serve all other fonts as well. This means only the fontpath "tcp/localhost:7100" entry and put the other fonts into xfsft's config file. Havn't tried that yet.
