| Hi Jonathan,
|
| I have no experience with your particular problem but wanted to point
| out something different. U don't need to use a xfs-xtt or similar
| truetype capable server with XFree86 v4.x anymore. The cited HOWTO is
| slightly aged, consider the follwing link instead [1].
|
| This is not to discredit the HOWTO from tldp, I've started from it as
| well but there's been quite some changes in XFree86 since v3.x
| partitculary considering fonts, anti-aliasing and auto-hinting etc.
| The link to the alias-generating script (fuzzy small fonts on the web)
| is broken, use the perl version [2] instead. The
| font-deuglification-HOWTO of which this link is the appendix might be of
| interest to you as well.
|
| Basically just create a folder where you put your Truetype fonts (e.g.
| /usr/local/share/fonts/ttfonts/), put a corresponding line into your
| XF86Config-4
|
| FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/ttfonts"
|
| and your set. For more in-depth info see the links.

Hi Roman,
Thanks for the help but no joy here. I was already aware of reference
[1]. Anyway, following these doesn't get my font recognised as an
xlsfont. So it is invisible to my application and I'm no further than I
was. Note that I CAN get the font to work but not on those applications
(such as those that I build) which require xlsfonts. So far xfs-xtt is
the only way I know of to do this. One way to check on whether your
method works is to install a font as you suggest and then run xfontsel.
If xfontsel recognises the font, then my application will recognise it.
If you like I can send you a copy of the font and you can try it
yourself. But beware, it crashes my system when installed as an xls font
which is what my original problem is all about.
Thanks again,
Jonathan
