Just add the font path to XF86Config-4 (in /etc/X11). I just made a
directory that matched the others but called ttype. You need to
create the fonts.dir file and the program you want for this is
ttmkfdir
I had to search the internet for it, and most sites point you at a
german one that doesn't work. However I eventually got a copy (can't
remember where)
