Thanks, for your help. That works now. The reason was that the TTF
files were available through symbolic links but the file themselves
didn't have the necessary permissions (even though the --sync could be
done, probably because it is done as root xhile xfstt runs as
`nobody').
Thanks for taking the time to reply,
