I'm using TT fonts right now, and I haven't gone near a font server since I switched to XFree86 4.0. > Section "Files" > FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server > # FontPath "unix/:7110" # local font server > # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these > FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc" > # FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic" > # FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" > # FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" > # FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" > # FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" > # FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" > # FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" > EndSection Just add a FontPath entry for the directory you dumped the TT fonts in. You'll need to do the whole mkttfdir thing, which I'm sure someone else has posted, and restart X, but it should work just fine after that.
