Re: ttf support under linux

[charles@lunarmedia.net]

i was rummaging around in the initscript for xfs on my rh7 machine and
sure enough i do see a reference to true type fonts. where do i stick new
fonts for xfs to load them as usable?

i've created

	/usr/share/fonts/truetype/
	/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/

but neither seems to do the trick.
i'm not sure if i am reading from the correct sources on how to handle
fonts. the stuff i looked at on linuxdoc.org seems to be out of date.
