How do I configure X to use > true type fonts in XFree 4.x? any change in what to do? You can use xfstt, but X4 has built in support for TrueType fonts. You can just add the directory to your FontPath list. You'll need to run mkfontdir in each directory first (I think...), but then it should work fine. > > * Any change in where do I place my configs for X? is it still in > /etc/X11/XF86Config or in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4? If /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 exists then X will use it. Otherwise, it looks for /etc/X11/XF86Config and uses it. It's probably a good idea to stick with /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, just for clarity, and to avoid any hard to diagnose problems later if you somehow have XFree86-3 installed. -rob
