This worked great! Haven't had a chance to restart X yet (didn't need to), but thanks for the tip! Any info as to why an X Font server would be wreaking havoc with this? I always thought it was necessary to display TTF, even with XF 4.x. Perhaps I've misunderstood this whole time. - Greg On Fri, 2002-09-20 at 00:18, Charles Philip Chan wrote:

in the wasteland called the Internet: I've tried this and a lot of other things on my machine (7.3, XF4.2) to get my TTF working again, but no avail. Following the first part of the instructions below gets me a fonts.scale file that is around 26K in size, listing all the fonts in the truetype directory. That's fine. However, fonts.dir is still set to 2 bytes, only containing a "0".
(1) Go to the directory of your truetype fonts.
(2) Run:
ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir
(3) Make sure that you have loaded the freetype module in the "Module" section of your /etc/X11/XF86Config, ie:
load "freetype"
(4) Make sure that the path of your truetype fonts is in the "Files" section.
(5) If the truetype module was loaded before, run:
xset fp rehash
If the truetype module was not load before hand, restart X.
These instructions only apply if you are not using a font server.
