[NTLUG:Discuss] True Type fonts?

[Will Senn]

Hi all:

Perhaps someone can tell me how to display/select TrueType fonts in RH6.0.
I have:
	1. installed some ttf's in /usr/share/fonts/ttf.
	2. ran ttmkfdir > fonts.scale
	3. ran mkfontdir
	4. restarted the os/xfs

How do you know that the fonts are installed properly and how do you get
netscape(insert your favorite app here) to recognize the new fonts.

When I run xfontsel, I don't seem to get the fonts. Maybe they are listed
beyond the boudaries of the screen?

Also, lastly, I would like to know if the fonts are displayed differently in
X than in Windoze, because when I select Times New Roman it looks kind of
jagged/rough?

Thanks,
