yes...I could have sworn I changed most of the docs to say 7101 instead of
7100...where did you get 7100 from? did I miss something?
btw you said [in previous message..which I just now read 5 mins ago]
that you did xfstt --sync --dir /usr/share/font/truetype
but...if you use the debina verwsion of xfstt, which is the only
version which defaults to port 7100, is also the only version
to default to /usr/share/fonts/truetype[1]

[1] I talked to Herbert Duerr about this (author) he agrees that /usr/ttfonts
[the outside-debian default] is not a very good place for fonts but doesn't
want to change it because of so many people already using it - I imagine
he would say the same about moving it to port 7101...
