Subject:   using fonts with Magicpoint
Message-ID:  <20011020102253.P64430-100000@x1-6-00-50-ba-de-36-33.kico1.on.home.com>

Anyone have any tips on getting Magicpoint to use a font that doesn't look
like crap? This is what I've tried so far, none of which has improved
anything:

-according to the README.fonts file that comes with Magicpoint, if you
have libttf.a somewhere on your system (I do in /usr/local/lib), it should
auto-magically look nice (it doesn't)

-I'm trying to sort through the Using Fonts in XFree86 section of the
handbook and my lack of understanding of fonts is not helping me. I've
followed the instructions for building and "xsetting" both UCW and
freefont, but my magicpoint slides still look the same

-I want to try the Truetype section, but where does one get these fonts?
Don't I already have decent looking fonts somewhere on my system?

I'm confused.
