I'm using xfstt. For me, based on the default debian scripts, the command
is 

	xset fp+ unix/:7101 &

in my .xinitrc file. Debian's default port is 7101 instead of 7100 when
using the /etc/init.d/xfstt script to start xfstt. Anyway, on reboot xfstt
should start automagically from that script. The first time, I suggest you
type (as root):

	/etc/init.d/xfstt stop
	/etc/init.d/xfstt start

Then, put the xset fp+... line into your X initiallization (such as
.xinitrc as I do). That will make everything automatic. You only need to
run xfstt --sync when you add new fonts to the truetype directory.


Thanks. Syrus.
