I'd like to thank Bear Giles for his Debian TTF howto which brought
me on the right path :o).
Of course, credit should also go to the XFree86 crew, and Joerg
Pommnitz for writing <tt>ttmkfdir</tt>.
Of course, credit should also go to the XFree86 crew for the enormous effort of maintaining XFree86, and Joerg Pommnitz for writing <tt>ttmkfdir</tt>.
Also I'd like to pass a BIG big thank you to the LDP for building and
maintaining a network of helping hands which already guided many
people through the hard to overcome the learning curve Linux has.
Thanks to Joe Meadows for notifying me that this howto probably described
an illegal act in version 0.0.2 and earlier.

<sect>Procedure
<p>
Get a set of ttf fonts from M$, or some fonts of your own, or
just use your windows partition if you have one and do the
following as root at the command line:
<em>
<bf>IF</bf> you are using something else than the windows partition method,
line 2 will (of course) differ.
</em>
Get a set of TrueType fonts (for example from one of the many sites
making fonts availiable for download) and do the following as
root at the command line:
<itemize>
<item><tt>mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype</tt>
<item><tt>cp /winpartition/windows/fonts/*.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype</tt>
<item><tt>cp /home/joeuser/yourdownloaddirectory/*.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype</tt>
<item><tt>cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype</tt>
<item><tt>ttmkfdir &gt; fonts.scale</tt>
<item><tt>mkfontdir</tt>
</itemize>

There you go. You will now have all TrueType fonts working. If you want
to add fonts, just move/copy those [*.ttf files] into the aforementioned
directory, and repeat the process starting from line 3.

Netscape has problems with these fonts, you have to check the "Allow
Scaling" setting in the Fonts dialog, don't feel distracted by the fact
