Here are a couple of possibilities - First, you could look at http://www.firstnethou.com/gz/xfsft_HOW-TO_for_SuSE.html and see if this offers any help. Secondly, you could try xfsft. I have some precompiled binaries at http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen/software/#truetype http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen/software/xfsft/ After installing your truetype fonts, get a hold of the appropriate Xserver from my web site (e.g. XF86_S3 if you are currently using that), and simply add a line to XF86Config FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype" just after the fixed fonts.

I am currently trying to get SuSE 6.4 configured and are having diffuclties with truetype font recognition.
Firstly I have got fonts installed in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype
I can get xfstt to sync and find fonts, even shows on startup screen when starting box, xfstt startetd found 28 fonts, I can do next phase of xfstt & to start the server and confirmed with ps that it is running, sometimes the fonts even show up in fontmanager. It all falls apart when I do the xset fp+ unix/:7101 it returns with
Cannot open TCPIP port 7101 Better try another port!
If I add unix/:7101 to XF86Config, it will not allow XF86Config to initialise at startup causing a X hang no boot into GUI. I have downloaded patch from SuSE, this is one that I am working with, if there is another alternative instead of xfstt I would gratefully try it. Oh yes I have even tried changing directories as per docs with xfstt.
