font servers: xfs vs. xfstt



Hi,

If I use lots of tt fonts, should I use xfstt instead?  Do I even 
need xfs* at all?

The reason I ask is that I just brought over tt fonts from my licensed
 copy of windows.  Then I ran mkttfontdir (well, apt-get ran it for me, 
when I installed it), and added the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType 
to the "catalogue" list in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config and restarted xfs.

Next, when I ran syplheed 0.7.0 from a terminal window, it died after 
spitting out a multitude of GDK-related font errors.  (Unfortunately,
I did not write them down.)

TIA,
Ron
