It works fine. Are you sure the fonts are recognized by X? You can verify
using the following: "xlsfonts | grep ttf". If you don't see any fonts,
then you need to read the docs for xfstt. (I had to put the following in
my .xinitrc to get it working: "xset fp+ unix/:7101&". Note that you
should not put the fontpath for the ttf's into your XF86Config because it
can cause X to fail if an error occurs.

Anyway, once the fonts were available under X, I had to quit Netscape and
restart. Then the fonts were available. (Using Communicator 4.5 128bit.)

Thanks. Syrus.
