How to install a font?

[Rodolfo Medina <rodolfo.medina@gmail.com>]

Hi.

When I was a Mandrake Linux user, a couple of years ago, I used to put the
file `simsun.ttf' in the directory `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF', then add
the following lines to the files `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fonts.dir' and
`/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/fonts.scale':
   
   simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-ascii-0
   simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gb2312.1980-0
   simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-gbk-0
   simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-ibm-cp850
   simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso10646-1
   simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1
   simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-15
   simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-koi8-r
   simsun.ttf -misc-SimSun-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-big5.eten-0

, and this way the font was ready to be used on my system.  Now, on my Debian
Etch box the directory `/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF' does not exist.  Please
can anybody suggest how the above procedure is to be adapted with Debian Etch?

Thanks for any help
