Re: Fonts-n-things on 4.1/Sid
BM> I looked over the fonts section of the X11 docs

You mean, some people actually reads the docs?
BM> but I'm unclear if I need to follow those instructions on debian.
Yes. I don't recall if ttmkfdir is included in Debian, and if so, in
which package, but compiling it is no sweat.
BM> I'm also not clear if I need to or should run a font server,
You don't need to. Opinions on whether you should do differ; my
personal opinion is that you should not; Branden thinks differently.
If you do decide to run a font server, the XFree86 instructions will
not apply.
BM> If anyone has a favorite HOWTO/guide/tutorial please post the URL.
If you find README.fonts (fonts.html) to be unsatisfactory, please
drop me a note and I'll add whatever it is to the next release.
