I understand this. The current server has no X. It has ssh and I log into it using ssh, remotely. Those familiar with PHP w/ GD support, does it mean that I need to start the server in X and then PHP will have TTF support, or is it transparent to PHP, and the underlying system can operate in non-X mode? Thanks again for your help. Noor On Mon, 28 Aug 2000, Luke Hollins wrote: > On Mon, 28 Aug 2000, Noor Dawod wrote: > > How can I transform Windows TTF fonts to be available under FreeBSD?
