xfstt and font not available

[Matthew Davis <davis.m@mail.utexas.edu>]

Hi all,

I have just wiped my system and reinstalled Debian (thanks completely to
Windows 2000 and my dual booting).  I was attempting to setup my
truetype fonts for use in X, and I seem to be doing something wrong.
Here's what I've done and what it happening:

Copied /WINNT/Fonts/* /user/share/fonts/truetype to obtain the font
library.

apt-get install xfstt

added the quoted line to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
    "xset fp+ unix/:7101"

restarted xfstt daemon with . /etc/init.d/xfstt restart

And here's what happens:

I am running Helix-gnome, so I go into gnomecc to change my default
fonts.  When I hit "browse" to select a font, and highlight any of the
new ttf fonts (they do appear in the font list), I am told the font is
not available and the default 'fixed' font is used in it's place.

The same phenomenon occurs in both Mozilla M16-1 and in Netscape, and
seemingly any GTK program (i.e. Gnotepad+)

Have I left something out?  I don't know what is wrong.  It obvisouly
sees the path.  I have also tried running X as root, and that doesn't
work either; root gets the same errors as user.

Thanks in adavance for any help.

Matt
