If you are running a hamm system, I am the xfstt maintainer and the current version uploaded into unstable already has an init.d script which it automatically installs. You do however still need to add it to the fontpath manually (which makes sense really..since it doesn't come with any fonts it will not run properly even from that script until you actually get some fonts) If you are interested you can get the source and compile it for bo .. but I don't have a bo system and all so I didn't compile it for bo and put it in bo-unstable but...the source version should compile just fine [side note] The /var/ttfonts will be changing soon. The use of this directory was reported as a bug as it violates the filesystem standard... it doens't break anything but I will be changing it as soon as I can find the time and motivation (life is crazy lately) -Steve
