Strange, on my hamm box installing xfstt was a pretty eventful job. First,
there is no FAQ.gz. Maybe it is in the slink but I can't install that to a
hamm box, can I? Then there is a problem with starting xfstt. It looks like
there is an error in the start script because if I type '/etc/init.d/xfstt
start' I get a line that looks like xfstt telling me how it wants to get
invoked. A bit later xdm tries to start but the screen doesn't come up. It's
flashing and I have to login from another computer, take down xdm, start xfstt
by hand and start xdm again.
Then and only then everything works fine and I can view web pages with
Netscape without getting eye cancer. :)
I haven't even mentioned the fact that the name of the xfstt start script was
in fact 'xfstt-dpkg-new' and that I had to browse the net for the line I had
to add to the FontPath in XF86Config. unix:/7101 didn't work, whyever.
Now I wonder what's broken on this system and do I have to expect something
like that on slink, too?

Regarding font sizes in Netscape: Is it ok that I can't choose the font size
for a TTF? I think in Windows this is possible and at the moment I'm using the
content of a \WINNT\Fonts directory. Are there free fonts which look as good
or even better?
