[NTLUG:Discuss] True Type fonts?

[lee]

add your true type font directory (/usr/share/fonts/ttf)

to your xfs configuration file, should be located at /etc/X11/fs/config

add your directory to the "catalogue" section of the config file.

see man xfs and
cat /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs

i hope this helps!  :)
