Hi Juergen, hi everyone.
Or maybe even simpler: Stay with xfstt and just use the server bit of Xfree4.0 instead? Will xfstt still work under 4.0 or must I use their xfsft server instead.

Well, I think so, unless something dramatically changed in Xfree4.0. xfstt and xfsft are services that can be and are accessed via tcp ports. It might be sensible to have a "corporate font server", running on i.e. 10.1.1.1, port <whatever>. All machines can access it, no individual install needed. I could add TTF's to the font list of my IRIX box that way. Working on that theory, you can run xfstt, xfsft or even both (on different ports). The sensible thing about xfsft is, that it will serve *all* fonts, wereas xfstt will only serve TTF's. Xfree 3.?.? didn't need a font server, it could use one. There was xfs, but that one was limited to non TTF fonts. Juergen

Hi, so I do I have to remove loading xfstt from my boot.local file or will the SuSE rpm's do it for me when they install Xfree4.0?
Thanks, Steve.
