Very Computer

Hey,
I posted something about this several days ago, but I have been away and it
looks like my newsserver has already deleted the message, so I will try
again (sorry if you already responded)

I am attempting to get True Type fonts to work in X.  I am running RedHat
6.0 (XF86 -> Enlightenment -> Gnome) and True Type fonts do not work (like
in Netscape for web pages and such).  I notice that when I start X, i get
an error, something like

X Font Server  - cannot connect.  error no 111

So basically I was wondering how can i get True Type Fonts working in X?  I
have tried lots of stuff and I cannot get it to work.  How can i get the X
Font Setver to connect to XF86 and have my fonts working, so fonts like
Arial, Tahoma, Verdana will work in Netsape.  Any help world be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks.

Since you don't say exactly what you've tried and which fontserver -
hard to say exactly where you went "astray".. take a look at the link
below - two different approaches described there. (The "native" xfsft,
included in the xfs that comes with RH6, and an independant TT
fontserver, xfstt). It's been reported to work for others ;)

Good luck - report back if still stuck.

Well, i have tried lots of stuff.. hard to remember exactly what...  :o)

Basically I am just using whatever is sefault in the RH Linux install (xfs
I think).  I have tried modifying the FOnt Path variable in XF86Config and
if I change it to 7200 ot 'unix:/-1" X will not load.  I will take a look
at the site and see what happens.  I have also tried the xfstt but had no
luck with that either....  Like I said I will check out that site and see
what happens... thanks..
