Re: TrueType fonts

That's how I do it as well.

Be careful however.  Some windows TT fonts chew on XFree86, which will cause
that particular fontpath to be entirely rejected.  Had I more time, I'd make
a fix which caused it to reject only the nasty fonts... or at least log
which ones it failed on.  However, I don't, so some other benighted soul
will have to implement this notion. ;)

Christian.
